What is HCG Tumor Marker (Cancer) Test?

HCG Tumor Marker (Cancer) Test detects cancer-associated biological markers in the blood produced by tumour cells or by the body's response to malignancy. Results are always interpreted alongside imaging and clinical findings , not in isolation.

What does HCG Tumor Marker (Cancer) Test measure?

This test measures human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone normally made during pregnancy. hCG supports early pregnancy, but some tumors also produce it. Measuring hCG helps doctors detect and follow certain cancers, especially germ cell tumors of the testes or ovaries, choriocarcinoma, and some rare cancers. A standard blood, urine, or tissue sample is collected depending on the test type. The sample is analysed in a certified laboratory using validated techniques. Each value is compared to a reference range derived from healthy populations, and any value outside this range is flagged for review.

What do the results of HCG Tumor Marker (Cancer) Test mean?

Reference ranges represent values within which 95% of healthy people fall. A result just outside this range does not automatically mean disease is present , clinical context matters.
