What's this test for?
This test is ideal if you've noticed a lump or swelling in your testicle, are experiencing testicular pain or discomfort, or have been diagnosed with testicular cancer and need monitoring. It measures tumor markers in your blood that can indicate the presence of testicular cancer or help track how well treatment is working. Many men use this test for peace of mind when they notice unusual changes or as part of ongoing cancer surveillance.
How should I prepare for this test?
There are no special preparation requirements for this test. You don't need to fast before your blood draw, and you can take your regular medications unless your doctor advises otherwise. Simply visit the lab at your convenience to have your blood sample collected.
What's included in this test?
This panel measures three key tumor markers associated with testicular cancer: Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP), Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), and Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase (LDH). AFP and hCG are proteins that can be elevated when certain types of testicular cancer are present, while LDH is an enzyme that often increases with rapidly growing tumors. Together, these markers help detect testicular cancer early, determine the type of tumor, monitor treatment effectiveness, and watch for cancer recurrence after treatment.
What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your tumor marker levels mean and whether they're in the normal range. These notes include personalized guidance on next steps, such as whether you need further imaging tests, a follow-up with a urologist or oncologist, or simply routine monitoring. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your marker levels over time using our trends feature, which is especially helpful if you're monitoring for recurrence or treatment response.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is important for men who have discovered a testicular lump or mass, experienced unexplained testicular swelling or pain, or have a family history of testicular cancer. It's also essential for men who've been diagnosed with testicular cancer to monitor treatment response and watch for recurrence. Young men aged 15-35 are at highest risk for testicular cancer and should be particularly vigilant about unusual symptoms.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Key warning signs include a painless lump or swelling in either testicle, a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum, dull ache in the lower abdomen or groin, or sudden fluid buildup in the scrotum. Some men also notice breast tenderness or growth due to hormone changes from certain tumor types. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to get evaluated promptly as early detection significantly improves outcomes.
What is Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) and why does it matter?
AFP is a protein normally produced by a developing fetus but shouldn't be present in significant amounts in healthy adult men. Elevated AFP levels can indicate non-seminoma testicular cancer, particularly embryonal carcinoma and yolk sac tumors. Monitoring AFP levels helps doctors diagnose testicular cancer, determine the tumor type, assess how well treatment is working, and detect if cancer returns after treatment.
What does elevated hCG mean?
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is typically known as the pregnancy hormone, but it can be produced by certain testicular cancers, particularly choriocarcinoma and some seminomas. Elevated hCG in men is a strong indicator of testicular cancer and should always be investigated. High hCG can sometimes cause breast enlargement or tenderness in men due to its hormonal effects.
What does high LDH indicate?
Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme found in many body tissues, and elevated levels can indicate rapidly growing or advanced testicular cancer. While LDH is less specific than AFP or hCG (it can be elevated in other conditions too), it's particularly useful for assessing tumor burden, prognosis, and treatment response. Very high LDH levels may suggest more advanced disease.
How often should I retest these tumor markers?
Testing frequency depends on your situation. If you're newly diagnosed, your doctor will likely test these markers before treatment, then frequently during and after treatment to monitor response. After successful treatment, markers are typically checked every 1-3 months for the first year, then less frequently over the next several years to watch for recurrence. If you're testing due to symptoms but haven't been diagnosed, your doctor will determine follow-up timing based on your results.

What this means
Your AFP level is slightly elevated above the normal range. While this could indicate the presence of testicular cancer (particularly non-seminoma types), elevated AFP can also occur with liver disease or other conditions. This result warrants further evaluation with imaging tests and consultation with a urologist or oncologist to determine the cause.
Recommended actions
Schedule an appointment with a urologist or oncologist for further evaluation
Your doctor may recommend testicular ultrasound or CT imaging
Perform regular testicular self-examinations to check for lumps or changes
Retest AFP levels as directed by your healthcare provider, typically within 2-4 weeks
* Regular blood test results (e.g., CBC) typically start arriving the next business day after sample collection. More complex tests, such as hormone panels, may take up to 10–15 business days due to their complexity.
