All laboratory/imaging 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. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, high vitamin B12 levels may be seen in chronic inflammation but are not a marker of cancer. Wish you good health!
