About the Test
The Female Tumour Markers Blood Test Profile is designed to assist in monitoring and detecting specific proteins that are often present in higher than normal amounts in the blood of individuals with certain types of cancers. This profile includes a panel of markers that are commonly associated with ovarian, breast, gastrointestinal, and liver cancers. It is important to note that the presence of these markers alone does not confirm a diagnosis of cancer, as levels can also be elevated due to non-cancerous conditions. This test is primarily used to evaluate treatment effectiveness and monitor for cancer recurrence.
What's Tested?
This test profile includes the following markers:
• CA 15-3: Mainly used to monitor breast cancer, especially in evaluating the effectiveness of treatment and checking for recurrence.
• CA 19-9: Often associated with pancreatic cancer, but it can also indicate other gastrointestinal cancers.
• CA 125: Primarily used in the detection and monitoring of ovarian cancer.
• CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen): Can indicate a variety of cancers including colorectal, gastrointestinal, breast, and lung cancers; used to assess treatment response and detect cancer recurrence.
• AFP (Alpha-fetoprotein): Typically elevated in liver cancer but can also indicate other tumors including those in the ovaries and testes.
Frequently Asked Questions
This panel measures key markers such as CA-125, CA 15-3 / CA 27-29, CEA, HE4, and AFP that can be elevated in female reproductive and breast cancers. Panels may vary slightly depending on clinical indication.
No. Tumour markers are not diagnostic on their own. They flag abnormal patterns that warrant further investigation with imaging (ultrasound/MRI) or specialist referral.
No fasting is typically required, unless otherwise advised.
Yes. Conditions like endometriosis, menstruation, fibroids, infection, or inflammation can elevate markers like CA-125, so results must be interpreted alongside clinical history.
Results are usually available within 10 business days after the laboratory receives your sample.
This test can be useful in high-risk individuals or when symptoms suggest possible malignancy, but it is not recommended as a standalone screening tool in asymptomatic, average-risk women.
Yes — we offer at-home phlebotomy blood draws and testing across the UK, including hotel or house visits by professional phlebotomists.
If any marker is elevated, a GP review is recommended. Your clinician may recommend repeat testing, imaging scans, or referral to a gynaecologic oncologist.
