or like something that will lead to the finding of cancer.?.?.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
It's possible. An elevation in certain proteins can be an indication. The doctor would have to specify what he was testing for, they won't just look at your blood under a microscope and tell you what you have. Leukemia is one cancer identified through blood testing. Your doc would have your blood tested again for specific conditions if there was an abnormality in the first test. Many cancers won't show anything in the blood, eg, colon cancer, which requires a colonoscopy. If you have concerns that you may have cancer please have a talk with your doctor. Many people find out their fears were unfounded or that something has been diagnosed in the early stages and treatment was more effective.Health Question & Answer

Yes, but not in his office. I mean, he can draw blood in his office, but it would have to be examined in a lab to find out if there are high antibodies or whatever that point towards something being wrong. Health Question & Answer

Some types of cancers leave markers in your blood. Others (in the leukemia family) actually create cancerous blood cells. If they draw your blood, and find low levels they will usually initiate the check for leukemia.Health Question & Answer
