Why Aren't There Blood Tests for Specific Cancers Like Adenocarcinoma?

I feel you there are times when I want to yell times when I want to cry god get me thru those times sometimes you just have to put it in God hands don't give up my brother I pray everything works out for you god bless 🙏🙏🙏

Stockholm 3, MPS2, Episwitch PSE, ctc Clearvieware some of the biomarker tests that are PCa specific and way more predictive than PSA. Ask your doctor why they are not using one of them.

I forgot to add 4k Score and ISO PSA, and should have mentioned that MPS2 is a urine test.

Cost, insurance coverage, doctor familiarity and resistance to change are factors limiting use of these better tests. Still, some are covered by private insurance and Medicare under conditions. In time, I believe one or more will supplant PSA as an initial screening and diagnostic test.

Blood tests for cancer detection are becoming more advanced, though they're not yet available for all cancer types due to the complexity of how different cancers behave in the body. Regarding lymph node sampling, treatment approaches vary based on many factors including cancer stage, location, and individual patient circumstances - this sounds like an important discussion to have with your oncology team about your specific treatment plan and what monitoring or additional testing might be appropriate for your situation.
