Description
What is the Lung Cancer Tumour marker Blood Test?
The lung cancer screening blood test is popular given that the disease is responsible for nearly one in five cancer deaths worldwide, causing more than 1.6 million yearly deaths. NSE is a valuable marker in monitoring patients with neuroendocrine tumours, microscopic cell lung cancer and neuroblastoma. NSE is an important prognostic marker with a positive predictive value of 92%. In neuroblastoma, increased levels of NSE are found in approximately 62% of affected children, in close correlation with the clinical stage of the disease.
Why get tested?
A high level of a specific tumour marker can indicate a particular type of cancer. It helps the oncologist decide what treatment or combination will work best for a certain type of cancer. Evaluate how well the treatment worked. Sometimes, tumour markers are used for screening to help detect a certain type of cancer in people at high risk before they have signs or symptoms.
