Cancer tests Tirupati

Cancer Marker Tests:

  • PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen): This blood test measures the level of PSA, a protein primarily produced by the prostate gland. Elevated PSA levels can indicate the presence of prostate cancer, though other conditions can also cause an increase.
  • CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen): CEA is a protein normally found in low levels in the blood. Elevated levels may suggest the presence of various cancers, including colorectal, lung, breast, and pancreatic cancer.
  • CA-125 (Cancer Antigen 125): CA-125 is a protein produced by ovarian and other tissues. High levels of CA-125 can be a sign of ovarian cancer, though it can also be elevated in other conditions such as endometriosis and pregnancy.

Tumor Marker Tests:

  • AFP (Alpha-Fetoprotein): AFP is a protein normally produced during fetal development. Elevated levels in adults can be a sign of liver cancer or testicular cancer.
  • hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin): hCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy. Elevated levels in men or non-pregnant women can be a sign of certain types of testicular or ovarian cancer.

Genetic Testing:

  • BRCA1/BRCA2: These genes are associated with an increased risk of breast, ovarian, and other cancers. Genetic testing can identify mutations in these genes, helping individuals make informed decisions about cancer prevention and screening.

Screening Tests:

  • Mammography: This imaging technique uses low-dose X-rays to detect breast cancer early, often before symptoms appear.
  • Colonoscopy: This procedure allows for a visual examination of the colon and rectum, enabling the detection and removal of polyps (abnormal growths) that can become cancerous.
  • Pap Smear: This test screens for cervical cancer by collecting cells from the cervix for microscopic examination.
