イメージHealth checkup facilities offering Tumor Markers (Blood Test) in Fukui
A blood test that measures the levels of substances associated with cancer
What Tumor Markers (Blood Test) can reveal & when to get it
This test measures substances in the blood that may increase in the presence of cancer (such as CEA, CA19-9, AFP, and CA125). A single blood draw can provide clues about multiple organs, though this test is considered supplementary in nature.
Main conditions it can detect and evaluate
- Potential indicators of various types of cancer
- Monitoring markers for post-treatment follow-up
When to consider this test
This is an optional, elective test. It serves as a supplementary exam intended to be combined with imaging studies, and is not suited for detecting or confirming cancer on its own.
Screening interval: Optional/elective. Typically performed once a year as part of a comprehensive health checkup (ningen dock), or as advised by a physician.
Benefits
- ○Requires only a blood draw, minimizing physical burden
- ○Provides clues about multiple organs in a single test
- ○Useful for monitoring progress after cancer treatment
Points to note when getting tested
- !Levels are often not elevated in early-stage cancers
- !Values can rise due to non-cancerous conditions (e.g., inflammation, smoking, or benign diseases)
- !Elevated numbers alone are not conclusive — imaging studies are required for further evaluation
