What does the HCG Tumor Marker (Cancer) Test identify?

The HCG tumor marker test is used to measure the levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in the blood. Elevated levels of HCG can indicate the presence of certain types of cancer, particularly testicular cancer and ovarian cancer. In men, increased HCG levels can also be a sign of other conditions such as germ cell tumors or mediastinal tumors. In women, elevated HCG levels can be associated with choriocarcinoma, a rare type of cancer that occurs in the uterus.

Why is this test HCG Tumor Marker (Cancer) Test taken?

The HCG Tumor Marker (Cancer) Test is taken to measure the levels of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) in the blood. HCG is a hormone that is produced by the placenta during pregnancy, but it can also be produced by certain types of cancer cells, such as testicular cancer, ovarian cancer, or germ cell tumors.

Elevated levels of HCG in the blood can indicate the presence of these types of cancers, and the test is used to help diagnose and monitor the progression of the disease. It can also be used to determine the effectiveness of cancer treatment and to detect any recurrence of the cancer.
