A member asked:
Would salivary gland tumor (cancer or even benign) affect lab work such as cbc? thank you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
An inflamed/infection would elevate the white blood cell count. There are no specific blood tests or tumor markers that would affect the cbc& differential cell count.
