What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're being evaluated for certain types of cancer, especially when anti-angiogenesis therapy is being considered as a treatment option. VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) is a protein involved in the growth of new blood vessels, which tumors can use to grow and spread. This test measures VEGF levels in your blood as part of that evaluation process.

What happens after I get my results?

Your VEGF results will show up in your online account along with the normal range so you can see exactly where your number falls. If your value is outside the expected range, the report explains what that may mean, and retesting over time can help track how your levels change. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time, and the trends feature lets you compare results across multiple tests to see patterns. If your result is significantly elevated, it's worth discussing timely next steps for your specific health situation.

Who should consider this test?

This test is most relevant for people currently being evaluated for cancer treatment options, particularly those where anti-angiogenesis (blood vessel growth blocking) therapies are on the table. It's also useful for people who want to track changes in VEGF levels during treatment. This is a research-use test, so it's typically used alongside other diagnostic information rather than as a standalone screening tool.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

There aren't specific everyday symptoms tied directly to VEGF levels since this marker relates to tumor blood vessel growth rather than symptoms you'd notice yourself. Instead, this test is typically considered when someone has already been diagnosed with cancer or is being evaluated for a treatment plan. If you have concerns about cancer symptoms like unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue, or unusual lumps, those are reasons to seek care and testing broadly, not this specific marker alone.

When will I get my results?

Results for this test are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being collected at the lab. Once ready, they'll be uploaded directly to your secure online account where you can view and download them. You'll be able to see your VEGF value alongside the reference range to understand what it means.

What is VEGF and why does it matter?

VEGF stands for Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor, a protein your body makes to help grow new blood vessels. In cancer, tumors can produce extra VEGF to build their own blood supply so they can keep growing and spreading. Measuring VEGF helps show how active this blood-vessel-building process is, which matters when considering therapies designed to block it.

What does high VEGF mean?

A higher-than-expected VEGF level can suggest increased blood vessel growth activity, which is often seen in certain cancers and some inflammatory conditions. It doesn't diagnose cancer by itself, but it can be a useful piece of information when evaluating treatment approaches. If your result is high, retesting and reviewing it alongside your other health information is a reasonable next step.

What does low VEGF mean?

A lower VEGF result is generally considered normal and suggests less blood-vessel-growth activity at the time of testing. In most cases, a low or normal value isn't a cause for concern on its own. It simply reflects a baseline level of this particular protein in your blood.

What causes high or low VEGF levels?

High VEGF levels are most often linked to conditions where the body is actively growing new blood vessels, such as certain cancers, wound healing, or some inflammatory diseases. Lower levels are typically just a normal baseline state. Factors like recent illness, inflammation, or other health conditions can also influence your result, which is why tracking it over time can be helpful.

How often should I retest?

Retesting frequency really depends on your individual situation, especially if you're monitoring cancer treatment or response to anti-angiogenesis therapy. Some people retest every few weeks or months to track changes over the course of treatment. Using the trends feature in your account can help you and your care team spot meaningful changes between tests.
