Cancer detection by blood test

Having diagnosed cancer at an early stage, it will be possible to completely get rid of the malignant formation. The earlier the diagnosis is made, the better the chances of starting a quick treatment, excluding the growth of the tumor.

To confirm the presence of changes in the prostate gland, a blood test, urine, prostatic fluid produced by the prostate is prescribed. During the study of analyzes in laboratory conditions, it is possible to identify a number of changes in the male body.

Types of analyzes

To establish cancer, a number of different tests for prostate cancer are performed. The specialist appoints the patient to donate blood - analysis for PSA, urine, prostatic secretion.

Plasma Test for Prostate Cancer

The most common method for finding pathological disorders of the body is a general study of plasma. During the study, it is possible to recognize the hemoglobin level, the presence of inflammatory processes and other elements.

Venous blood is drawn from patients. With Prostate cancer: increased leukocytes, increased ESR, decreased hemoglobin. These results of the material in oncology of the malignant nature of the prostate gland warn of disorders in the prostate, which are associated with the inflammatory process.

This blood test for prostate cancer does not give an accurate result to confirm the oncological process. A different clinical study is required for a reliable result.

Material for pw (biochemical index) should be taken in the morning on an empty stomach. Before donating blood for cancer, you should prepare.

• Stop eating fatty foods in a few days.
• Give up alcohol and nicotine.

Passing the analysis without preparation can lead to an inaccurate result with various deviations. Renal and hepatic pathologies directly give deviations in indicators from the norm.

Reduced immune defense is recognized by the altered number of fractions and total protein. When the amount of urea, nitrogen, creatinine is increased, there is a risk of detecting a malignant tumor in the prostate. The assessment of microcirculation is determined by the level of cholesterol.

Oncology in the organ is determined by the main analysis for the recognition of pathology - the delivery of material for the detection of prostate-specific antigen. This agent is a tumor marker of pathology, which explains its manifestation immediately at the initial stage of the disease.

Therefore, it is imperative to prepare for the collection of venous blood. This will help you get accurate results.

Preparation

• It is not allowed to drink or eat for 12 hours before taking the material.
• Coffee, alcohol, smoking is prohibited at least 10 hours before donating blood.
• Prostate massage is prohibited until 5-7 days before the test.
• You must not have intercourse for 7 days before blood sampling.

Abnormalities found in analyzes may be precursors of tumor formation.

What should be the indicators?

• Men aged 45 should have an antigen level of 2.5 ng.
• Patients up to 55 years old - up to 3.5 ng.
• After 60 years - 4.4 ng.
• Older age - up to 6.3 ng.

Urinalysis test

Delivery of urine and its study allows you to determine not only a predisposition to cancer formation, but also the presence of other pathologies. The state of health of the body is determined by urine.

The color of urine may indicate the development of pathological processes. When a person has a reddish tinge of urine, this can be a harbinger of cancer. Cancer can be triggered by impaired functioning of the urinary and reproductive system

The result of the general analysis is not a complete confirmation of cancer; for this, an additional analysis of UBS tumor markers may be prescribed. Then it is possible to determine the existing onco cells. However, even such a study does not provide an accurate diagnosis. To get a more detailed clinical picture, the amount of proteins should be recognized. In cancer patients, the protein exceeds 150 times the norm. Patients collect urine in the morning. Urine examination lasts 7 days.

Biopsy

The appointment of a biopsy is performed when the amount of specific antigen exceeds the norm. This study is necessary to eliminate errors in diagnosis. The biopsy procedure involves the removal of a small amount of tissue from the patient's prostate for examination in a laboratory setting.

The biopsy is performed through the wall of the rectum. The tissue is taken under local anesthesia. Before taking tissue for biopsy, the patient should be prepared for the enema method.

The tissue sampling is carried out under the supervision of an ultrasound machine, which allows you to accurately determine the pathological zones and take material from them. Samples are sent for laboratory examination, where accurate diagnostics are established.

For cancer cells, a specialized specialist determines the stage of development of a malignant formation, aggressiveness, traces the growth and reproduction of harmful cells.

Additional Research

According to blood tests, urine, prostate tissue, the primary diagnosis is determined. Sometimes, in difficult situations, additional research may be required. The course of the disease can be complicated by additional pathologies of the urinary and reproductive system.

• Chlamydia.
• Papilloma virus.
• Genital herpes.
• Ureaplasmos.
• Cytomegalovirus.
• Mycoplasmos.
• Candidiasis.

Bacteria are detected after taking a smear from the urethral canal. The specialized specialist can also prescribe the delivery of the secretion of the prostate gland. These materials will help to recognize in detail not only the presence of infection, but also to determine their quantity in the organs of the urinary and reproductive system.

Prostate cancer very often occurs due to hormonal imbalance in the body. Such surges most often occur in older men. This explains the fact that benign and malignant neoplasms most often affect men at a more mature age.

According to a blood test, hormonal imbalance is determined quickly. According to the results, the level of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, follicle stimulator (hormone) is assessed.

For men, it is very important that testosterone levels are normal. The male hormone under the action of reductase turns into dihydrotestosterone, which provokes an outbreak of the oncological process. Timely blood tests for cancer are very important for early detection of cancer.
