A member asked:

How long does it take for tumor specific antigen blood work results to come in?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It would vary the antigen being tested for. Routine tumor antigens like PSA, CA 125, CEA etc. are usually completed within 4 hours of the specimen arriving in the laboratory.

Dr Rhoads agreed
