Can cancer be picked up in a blood test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really.: There is no general blood test for cancer, although there are tumor markers such as psa, cea, etc that can be elevated in certain types of cancers. An elevated psa, for instance, can indicate the presence of prostate cancer.
