Individual tests

ACTH is a pituitary gland hormone that controls cortisol production. Cortisol, an adrenal gland hormone helps you respond to stress, fight infection, and regulate blood sugar and blood pressure. The test is often done with a cortisol test to diagnose pituitary or adrenal gland disorders.
AFP is a type of tumor marker produced by cancer cells or normal cells in response to cancer. High levels of AFP can indicate cancer of the liver, ovaries, or testicles. However, other non-cancerous conditions can also increase AFP levels, so this test alone can't fully diagnose cancer.
An AMH test checks a woman's ability to produce eggs for fertilization, known as the ovarian reserve. It can also determine the reasons for menopause, amenorrhea, or lack of menstruation and help diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It can help check infants with genitals not identified as male or female and monitor women with certain types of ovarian cancer.
This test helps monitor certain cancers during and after treatment and checks for recurrence. It can identify early signs of ovarian cancer in high-risk patients. Some non-cancerous conditions can increase the level of this protein, such as menstruation and uterine fibroids. Certain cancers may also cause an increased level of CA 125, including ovarian, endometrial, peritoneal, and fallopian tube cancers.
If your CA 15-3 results are elevated, additional testing is needed to diagnose breast cancer. If the elevation is minimal, you may need to watch, wait, and order a repeat test 4-6 weeks later. The CA 15-3 elevations in non-cancerous conditions tend to be stable over time. If elevation persists or increases, you may need additional testing, such as breast ultrasound, mammography, or a CT scan
The CA 19.9 quantitative test screens for abnormalities related to the pancreas and bile.
Cancer antigen CA72-4 is a tumor marker found elevated in various human malignant tumors, including ovarian, gastrointestinal (i.e., stomach, colon, and small bowel), and pancreatic cancer. It is used to manage metastatic and recurrent cancer and assess antitumor therapy response.
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a protein of the developing fetus. CEA levels gradually decrease or disappear after birth. In adults, abnormal CEA levels can indicate cancer. Smoking can also increase CEA. The test helps monitor treatment and checks for the recurrence of cancers of the colon, thyroid gland, rectum, lung, breast, liver, pancreas, stomach, and ovaries.
Cortisol is a hormone made by your adrenal glands, two small glands that sit above the kidneys. It affects almost every organ and tissue in your body that help respond to stress, reduce inflammation, regulate blood sugar, or control blood pressure.

CYFRA 21-1 is useful as a tumor marker, especially for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), CEA, SCC, and other epithelial tumors such as in bladder cancer. This elevation in tumors may be due to cell lysis releasing cell contents into the blood.
DHEAS is important in testosterone and estrogen production. It plays a role in the development of male sexual characteristics at puberty. DHEAS is mostly made in the adrenal glands. Smaller amounts of DHEAS are made in a man’s testicles and a woman’s ovaries. Abnormal DHEAS levels may suggest a problem with your adrenal glands, testicles, or ovaries.
Estradiol, the most important form of estrogen, plays a vital role in sexual development. This test is used to determine the cause of early or late puberty, evaluate how the ovaries function, and monitor the progression of pregnancy or fertility treatment.
