What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're concerned about non-melanoma skin cancers or experiencing unexplained symptoms like persistent fatigue, unusual weight loss, or changes in your overall health. It helps detect early biochemical signs that may indicate cancer development or other serious health issues affecting your blood, liver, kidneys, and metabolic function. Many people use this test for preventive screening, especially if they have risk factors like extensive sun exposure history or family history of cancer.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 12 hours

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood draw, meaning no food or beverages except water during that time. This ensures accurate glucose and metabolic measurements. Results typically take about 5 business days, though confirmation testing may extend this timeframe if needed.

What's included in this test?

LD

This comprehensive panel evaluates multiple systems that can reveal early cancer signs or other serious conditions. The Complete Blood Count checks for abnormal blood cells that may indicate blood cancers or immune issues. The Comprehensive Metabolic Profile assesses liver and kidney function, electrolyte balance, and blood sugar levels that can be affected by cancer. Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase (LDH) is a key marker that becomes elevated with tissue damage from various cancers, while Vitamin D testing helps assess immune function and cancer risk factors.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your blood markers reveal about your overall health and any potential concerns. These notes include personalized recommendations such as lifestyle modifications, nutritional guidance, follow-up testing suggestions, or when you should consult with an oncologist or specialist. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your biomarkers over time using our trends feature to monitor changes and the effectiveness of any interventions.
When will I get my results?
You can expect your results within 5 business days after your blood sample is collected. If any biomarker requires confirmation testing or additional analysis, the turnaround time may be extended slightly, and you'll be notified of any delays.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is important for anyone with significant sun exposure history, previous skin cancer diagnoses, or family history of non-melanoma cancers. It's also valuable for people experiencing unexplained symptoms like persistent fatigue, unintended weight loss, or general concerns about their cancer risk. Those undergoing cancer treatment or monitoring for recurrence should also consider this comprehensive screening.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Consider this test if you're experiencing persistent unexplained fatigue, unintended weight loss, frequent infections, or general feeling unwell without obvious cause. Other concerning signs include changes in skin lesions, prolonged healing times, unusual bruising or bleeding, or persistent pain. While these symptoms can have many causes, this comprehensive panel helps rule out or detect serious conditions including cancer.
What is LDH and why does it matter for cancer screening?
Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme found in nearly all body tissues that gets released into the bloodstream when cells are damaged or destroyed. Elevated LDH levels can indicate various cancers, including lymphoma, leukemia, melanoma, and other solid tumors, as cancer cells grow rapidly and die off. While not cancer-specific, LDH is a valuable screening marker that helps doctors identify tissue damage and monitor disease progression or treatment response.
What does high LDH mean?
High LDH levels indicate increased cell turnover or tissue damage somewhere in your body. This can result from various cancers, liver disease, heart attack, severe infections, or muscle injuries. In cancer screening, persistently elevated LDH may warrant further investigation with imaging or biopsies to identify the source. Your doctor will interpret LDH results alongside other biomarkers and your symptoms to determine next steps.
How often should I get retested for cancer screening?
If you're at average risk with normal results, annual comprehensive screening is generally recommended for preventive health monitoring. Those with elevated risk factors, previous cancer history, or concerning results may need more frequent testing every 3-6 months. If you're undergoing cancer treatment or surveillance, your oncologist will recommend a personalized testing schedule, often every few months to track treatment response and detect recurrence early.

What this means

Your LDH level is slightly elevated above the optimal range. While mildly elevated LDH can result from intense exercise, muscle injury, or other benign causes, persistently high levels warrant attention as they may indicate tissue damage or cellular turnover that should be monitored.

* Regular blood test results (e.g., CBC) typically start arriving the next business day after sample collection. More complex tests, such as hormone panels, may take up to 10–15 business days due to their complexity.
