The CA 15-3 Test measures cancer antigen 15-3 levels in blood, often used to monitor breast cancer treatment and progression. Elevated levels may suggest advanced breast cancer, metastasis, or recurrence, while non-cancer conditions can also affect results. Doctors order this test alongside imaging and other labs to track therapy response or detect changes in disease status. Results help guide ongoing management of breast cancer and patient care.
The CA 125 Test measures the level of cancer antigen 125 in blood, a protein often elevated in ovarian cancer and some other conditions. While not used alone for diagnosis, it helps monitor treatment effectiveness, detect recurrence, or assess disease progression. Elevated CA 125 may also be seen in endometriosis, fibroids, or pelvic inflammation. Doctors use this test to support cancer management and track overall reproductive and abdominal health.
The CA 19-9 Test measures levels of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 in blood, a tumor marker often elevated in pancreatic cancer and sometimes in bile duct, colorectal, or liver cancers. While not used alone for diagnosis, it helps monitor treatment, track disease progression, and detect recurrence. Elevated CA 19-9 may also occur in noncancerous conditions. Doctors use this test to support cancer management and guide therapy decisions.
The Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Test measures VEGF levels in blood to assess abnormal blood vessel growth and vascular health. Elevated VEGF may be associated with cancers, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, or inflammatory disorders. Doctors use this test to evaluate angiogenesis activity, investigate unexplained vision changes or tumor growth, and guide treatment strategies for cancer or vascular-related conditions.
The Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) and AFP-L3 Test measures total AFP and the AFP-L3 fraction, which is more specific for liver cancer risk. Elevated AFP may indicate liver disease, germ cell tumors, or hepatitis, while AFP-L3 is strongly associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Doctors order this test to assess liver function, screen high-risk patients, and monitor cancer treatment. Results provide critical insight into liver health and cancer detection.
The Fecal Globin by Immunochemistry Test detects hidden (occult) blood in stool using antibodies that identify human globin protein. This test helps screen for colorectal cancer, polyps, ulcers, and gastrointestinal bleeding. Doctors order it when patients have anemia, abdominal pain, or changes in bowel habits. Results provide early detection of digestive tract bleeding, guiding further evaluation with colonoscopy or other diagnostic procedures.
The Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) Test with Reflex to Confirmation screens for hepatitis B surface antigen in blood and, if reactive, automatically performs confirmatory testing. A reactive confirmed result indicates an active hepatitis B infection, while a non-reactive result shows no infection. Doctors use this test to diagnose acute or chronic hepatitis B, investigate abnormal liver tests, and guide treatment, monitoring, and infection control decisions.
The Uric Acid Test measures uric acid levels in blood to assess kidney function and detect gout, a form of arthritis caused by uric acid buildup. High levels may also signal kidney disease, kidney stones, or metabolic disorders, while low levels can occur with liver disease. Doctors use this test to investigate joint pain, swelling, or frequent urination, and to monitor treatment for gout, kidney stones, or chemotherapy-related complications.
The White Blood Cell Count with Differential Test measures total white blood cells and breaks them into types, including neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. Doctors order this test to evaluate infections, inflammation, immune disorders, and blood cancers. Abnormal results may suggest bacterial or viral infections, allergies, or leukemia. Results provide key insight into immune system health, disease detection, and treatment monitoring.
