Ezek a tesztek nagyon különleges helyzetekben további információkat adhatnak a kezelőorvosának, amelyek segíthetnek meghatározni a prognózist, vagy útmutatást adhatnak bizonyos daganatok, mint a tüdődaganat és a metasztatikus emlő, a vastagbél vagy a prosztata daganat kezelésében.
A kezelőorvosa fogja jelezni, hogy ez a típusú vizsgálat orvosilag megfelelő-e és egyéb lehetőségeket is meg fog fontolni.
Az alkar egyik vénájából vett vérre.
Általában nincs szükség előkészítésre. Azonban a kezelőorvosa elmondja Önnek, hogy kell-e változtatnia gyógyszerei bevételén a vérvétel előtt.
