A member asked:

Derm said cancer is associated hsp vasculitis. pcp did a check up on me with routine blood work and my kidneys, and liver function. would cancer show?

Your doctors can exp: Ask your doctors what your tests show. Typically Cancer does not show in the blood unless it is a blood cancer like Leukemia. What is HSP? Please avoid using abbreviations...they mean different things to different folks.
