The Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Tumor Marker Test measures AFP levels in blood to help detect and monitor cancers such as liver cancer, testicular cancer, and certain ovarian tumors. Elevated AFP may also be seen with liver disease, cirrhosis, or hepatitis. Doctors order this test for patients at risk of or being treated for cancer. Results provide essential insight for diagnosis, monitoring treatment response, and tracking cancer recurrence or progression.
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 Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha (TNF-α) Test measures levels of this cytokine, a key marker of inflammation and immune system activity. Elevated TNF-α may indicate autoimmune disease, chronic inflammation, sepsis, or certain cancers. Doctors order this test for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, or persistent fever. Results provide critical insight into immune dysregulation, disease progression, and response to anti-inflammatory therapies.
