What's this test for?

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.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your biomarker levels mean for your cancer risk and overall health. These notes include personalized recommendations like whether you need follow-up imaging, specialist consultation with a gynecologic oncologist, or just routine monitoring. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your biomarkers over time using our trends feature, which is especially helpful for monitoring changes or response to treatment.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures CA 19-9, CEA, and a Comprehensive Metabolic Profile including Chloride, Potassium, Sodium, BUN/Creatinine Ratio, ALT, AST, Alkaline Phosphatase, Bilirubin Total, Albumin/Globulin Ratio, Globulin, Albumin, Protein Total, Calcium, Carbon Dioxide, Creatinine, Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Glucose, and eGFR. 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.

How should I prepare for this test?

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.

When will I get my results?

Your results will typically be available within 3 business days after your blood sample is collected. If any confirmation testing is needed, the turnaround time may be extended, but you'll be notified if this is the case. You'll receive both doctor notes and your complete lab report as soon as they're ready.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is important for women experiencing persistent vulval symptoms like itching, pain, lumps, skin discoloration, or unusual discharge. It's also valuable for those with a family history of gynecological cancers, a personal history of HPV or vulvar conditions, or anyone over 50 who wants proactive cancer screening. Women with compromised immune systems or previous cancer history may also benefit from regular monitoring.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Consider this test if you notice persistent vulval itching that doesn't improve with treatment, unusual lumps or thickened areas, skin color changes (red, white, or darker patches), or unexplained bleeding or discharge. Other concerning symptoms include persistent pain, burning sensations, or sores that won't heal. While these symptoms can have benign causes, they warrant investigation to rule out serious conditions.

What is CA 19-9 and why does it matter?

CA 19-9 is a protein that can be elevated in your blood when certain types of cancer cells are present. While it's most commonly associated with pancreatic and gastrointestinal cancers, elevated levels can sometimes appear with other cancers or non-cancerous conditions. It's used as part of cancer screening and monitoring to help detect abnormal cell activity early when treatment is most effective.

What is CEA and why is it important?

CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen) is a protein that can increase in your blood when cancer is present, particularly in colorectal, breast, lung, and gynecological cancers. While not specific to vulval cancer alone, elevated CEA levels can indicate abnormal cell growth or tumor activity. It's valuable for early detection, monitoring cancer progression, and tracking treatment effectiveness over time.

How often should I retest these cancer markers?

If you're screening for cancer with no symptoms or history, annual testing may be appropriate, especially after age 50. If you have concerning symptoms or a family history, your doctor may recommend testing every 3-6 months initially. For those undergoing cancer treatment or in remission, more frequent testing every 2-3 months helps monitor treatment response and detect any recurrence early.
