Early diagnosis of cancer is important for treatment. Blood tests can indicate different types of cancer. Here, we will discuss different ways to detect cancer through blood tests:
The CBC test checks the amounts and types of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Abnormal levels may indicate blood cancer such as leukemia.
Tumor markers are proteins or other substances produced by cancer cells. High levels of these in the blood may indicate the presence of cancer.
Blood chemistry test checks the amount of various chemicals in the blood. Abnormal levels may indicate liver or kidney cancer.
In this test, a small drop of blood is spread on a slide and examined under a microscope. It may show abnormalities in the size and shape of blood cells, which may be a sign of cancer.
This is a new technology that identifies free floating cancer cells or their DNA fragments in the blood. It can help in early detection of different types of cancer.
Early diagnosis and treatment is possible through blood tests and other diagnostic methods. If you suspect cancer, consult a specialist immediately. Book an appointment now!
