This test is ideal if you're experiencing unusual symptoms in the vulval area, such as persistent itching, pain, lumps, skin changes, or unusual bleeding. It helps detect early signs of vulval cancer by measuring specific biomarkers in your blood that can indicate cellular changes or potential malignancy. Many people use this test when they have concerning symptoms, a family history of gynecological cancers, or want proactive screening for peace of mind.
You should fast for 12 hours before your blood collection. This means no food or beverages except water for at least 12 hours before testing. Estimated turnaround for results is 3 business days, though if confirmation testing is required, the timeline may be extended.
This comprehensive panel evaluates cancer-related biomarkers including CA 19-9 and CEA, which can be elevated in various cancers and help detect abnormal cell activity. It also includes a Complete Metabolic Profile that assesses liver and kidney function, electrolyte balance, and overall metabolic health, which can be affected by cancer or reveal other underlying conditions. Together, these measurements provide insight into potential cancer markers and your body's overall functioning.
What this means
Your CEA level is slightly elevated above the optimal range. While this is not necessarily alarming, mildly elevated CEA can occur with inflammation, smoking, or benign conditions, though it warrants monitoring to rule out more serious issues. Your doctor may recommend follow-up testing or additional screening.
Recommended actions
Discuss results with your healthcare provider for personalized guidance
Consider follow-up imaging or additional cancer screening if recommended
If you smoke, work on cessation as smoking can elevate CEA levels
Retest in 3-6 months to monitor trends and ensure levels remain stable
