Cancer Screening Panel

Our Cancer Screening Panel is designed to help detect early warning signs of certain cancers through blood-based tumor markers. These tests don’t diagnose cancer, but they can alert us to abnormal activity that may need further evaluation — giving you and your provider the opportunity to act early.

This panel is ideal for patients with personal or family history of cancer, or those seeking peace of mind through proactive screening.

🧪 What’s Included in the Panel:

✔️ PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen)
Used to screen for prostate health in men. Elevated levels may indicate prostate inflammation, enlargement, or cancer.

✔️ CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen)
A marker that may be elevated in cancers of the colon, rectum, pancreas, stomach, or breast. Also monitored in cancer survivors.

✔️ AFP (Alpha-Fetoprotein)
Used to screen for liver cancer and certain testicular cancers. May also be elevated in chronic liver disease.

✔️ CA 19-9
Primarily used to monitor pancreatic cancer, but can also be elevated in other gastrointestinal cancers.

✔️ Beta-HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)
A marker that may be elevated in certain testicular or ovarian cancers.

✔️ Calcitonin
A hormone tested to help detect and monitor medullary thyroid cancer.

✔️ Thyroglobulin
Used primarily to monitor patients after thyroid cancer treatment, but may also be part of broader thyroid health monitoring.

💬 Why This Panel Matters:

These tumor markers help detect subtle changes in the body that might suggest early cancer activity — often before symptoms begin. While abnormal results don’t always mean cancer, they serve as an important signal that further testing or imaging may be needed.

Our goal is early detection, when cancer is most treatable and outcomes are strongest.
