What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained symptoms like persistent fatigue, unusual weight loss, digestive issues, or have a family history of cancer. It measures multiple tumor markers throughout the body to help detect potential cancer risks early when they're most treatable. Many men use this test for proactive health screening or to investigate concerning symptoms that may indicate cancer.

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 fall within normal ranges. These notes include personalized guidance on next steps, whether that's reassurance if levels are normal, lifestyle recommendations, or whether you should follow up with an oncologist for further evaluation. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your tumor marker levels over time using our trends feature, which is especially valuable for ongoing cancer monitoring.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA), Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP), Beta-2 Microglobulin, Carbohydrate Antigen (CA) 19-9, and Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA). This comprehensive panel measures PSA for prostate cancer screening, AFP which can indicate liver or testicular cancers, Beta-2 Microglobulin for blood cancers and kidney function, CA 19-9 for pancreatic and digestive tract cancers, and CEA which monitors colorectal and other cancers. Together, these markers provide a broad screening across multiple organ systems, helping identify potential cancer risks or monitor known conditions.

How should I prepare for this test?

For accurate PSA test results, avoid ejaculation during the 24 hours before your test. This is important because ejaculation can temporarily elevate PSA levels and affect result accuracy. Beyond this, no other special preparation is typically needed, though fasting may be recommended depending on your testing location.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is valuable for men over 40 who want proactive cancer screening, especially if you have a family history of prostate, liver, pancreatic, or colorectal cancers. It's also important for men experiencing unexplained symptoms like weight loss, fatigue, digestive changes, or abdominal discomfort. Men with previous cancer diagnoses may use this panel for ongoing monitoring of tumor marker levels.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Consider this test if you're experiencing persistent unexplained fatigue, unintentional weight loss, digestive issues like changes in bowel habits, abdominal pain or discomfort, or difficulty urinating. Other signs include blood in urine or stool, persistent cough, lumps or swelling anywhere in the body, or night sweats. While these symptoms can have many causes, tumor marker testing helps rule out or detect cancer early.

What is PSA and why does it matter?

PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) is a protein produced by the prostate gland that can be elevated when there's inflammation, enlargement, or cancer in the prostate. It's one of the most important screening tools for detecting prostate cancer early, when it's most treatable. Regular PSA monitoring helps men and their doctors identify potential prostate issues before symptoms develop.

What does an elevated tumor marker mean?

An elevated tumor marker doesn't automatically mean you have cancer—many factors can cause temporary increases, including infections, inflammation, benign growths, or other non-cancerous conditions. However, elevated levels do warrant further investigation through additional testing, imaging, or consultation with a specialist. Your doctor will consider your overall health, symptoms, and medical history when interpreting results.

How often should I retest my tumor markers?

For routine cancer screening in healthy men, annual testing is often recommended, especially for men over 50 or those with family history. If you're monitoring a known condition or have had elevated markers, your doctor may recommend retesting every 3-6 months to track trends. More frequent monitoring helps identify changes early and assess whether treatments or lifestyle modifications are working.

What should I do if my tumor markers are high?

If your tumor markers are elevated, don't panic—schedule a follow-up with your doctor to discuss results in the context of your symptoms and medical history. Your doctor may recommend additional tests like imaging scans, biopsies, or repeat testing to confirm findings. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, stress management, and avoiding tobacco can support overall health while you undergo further evaluation.
