Cancer Testing: Know Your Risk

Woman giving support to friend diagnosed with cancer

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S.

Cancer kills over a half a million Americans every year—second only to heart disease. But cancer can be detected through antigens and other biomarkers in your blood. Your family history of breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer and even lung cancer can determine whether you’re at risk of developing cancer. Worried about cancer? Get a lab test to detect cancer today.

Lab Testing for Cancer

Whether you’re at risk or have already been diagnosed, cancer antigen, hormone markers and tumor markers are a good way to assess need and monitor treatment for cancer. Genetic cancer testing and fecal (occult blood) testing can assess your risk.

HCG Beta Subunit (Quantitative) Blood Test

A tumor marker for certain cancers such as testicular cancer

5 (1)
  • $29.90
  • $22.43
  • Save 25%

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone that is produced by certain types of cancer tumors. This test is used to evaluate men with testicular tumors. It can also be used to help diagnose gestational trophoblastic disease.

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Blood Test

Basic screening test for prostate cancer

5 (38)
  • $31.00
  • $23.25
  • Save 25%

Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is produced exclusively by cells of the prostate gland. The blood test for PSA is commonly ordered as a screening test for prostate cancer. A high PSA level may indicate the need for further evaluation.

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Free with Total Ratio Blood Test

Estimates the chance of prostate cancer when PSA is between 4-10

4.7 (21)
  • $61.00
  • $45.75
  • Save 25%

Measuring prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels can help detect benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and/or prostate cancer. This test also measures the percentage of free prostate specific antigen relative to the total amount; a lower percentage of free PSA may indicate the need for further testing.

Prostate-specific Antigen (PSA), Ultrasensitive Blood Test

Utilized for the monitoring of prostate cancer recurrence

5 (5)
  • $99.00
  • $74.25
  • Save 25%

Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is produced primarily by cells of the prostate gland. Monitoring blood levels of PSA can be a useful screening tool for the development or progression of prostate cancer.
