See below: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, there is no definitive cancer test and any of the test touted as cancer tests have too many false positives. I would recommend seeing your doctor and following her/his advice. It is not a do it yourself issue.
