Prostate Cancer Signs

Other than the PSA test which I am familiar with, does anyone know if there is any particular Blood Tests that can be run to give an indication the Cancer is present if any of a number of Organs or Body Systems or other tissue?

Please advise!

Thanks!

Only a biopsy can definitively provide a cancer diagnosis.

Some blood tests can be used as indicators. These are done by looking for levels of antigens specific to the cancer.

CEA – carcinoembryonic antigen for colon and other cancers
PSA – prostate specific antigen for prostate cancer

Abnormal blood counts can be an indicator for leukemia or other cancer.

Abnormal levels of certain chemicals can be used as an indicator for further investigation too.

Following hormone therapy, the PSA may still increase. Managing this situation is very controversial. Learn about the various options and how to decide what to do.
