A member asked:

Parameters in cbc are within normal values except for slightly elevated mpv of 13.3. does this mean cancer?

No. The MPV or mean platelet volume just indicates platelets slightly larger than normal which some people just have. It is not specific to any cancer.

Slightly elevated MPV is not an indication of any disease. It certainly does not indicate cancer. A normal MPV also does not exclude any illness.
