Understanding Your Results

Results are typically available within 1 day" and are delivered securely.

Tumour marker levels can be influenced by a wide range of factors, including inflammation, infection, benign conditions, and normal physiological variation. An elevated result does not mean cancer is present, and a normal result does not guarantee the absence of cancer.

We strongly recommend discussing tumour marker results with your GP or the clinician who recommended the test. They can interpret your results in the appropriate clinical context and advise on any further steps.
