Test Packages

A cancer marker check for males is a blood test that measures specific substances that can be elevated in certain cancers. The most common one is the PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test, which is used to screen for and monitor prostate cancer. While an elevated PSA level can be a sign of prostate cancer, it can also be raised by non-cancerous conditions like an enlarged prostate or infection. Therefore, this test is used in conjunction with other diagnostic tools. Other markers may be used to monitor testicular cancer or to check for recurrence. The main benefit is that it provides a way to monitor treatment and check for cancer recurrence, especially for prostate cancer.
