Cancer Screening at TEKlaB Laboratory
Cancer is responsible for 11% of deaths in Morocco. Early detection through regular screening significantly improves survival rates and treatment outcomes. Our comprehensive tumor markers panel helps identify cancer in its earliest stages.
Why Cancer Screening Matters
Early detection saves lives. Many cancers are highly treatable when caught early. Regular screening can detect cancer before symptoms appear, when treatment is most effective.
Tumor Markers We Test
CA 15-3
Breast cancer marker. Used for monitoring treatment and detecting recurrence.
PSA
Prostate-specific antigen. Essential for prostate cancer screening in men.
CEA
Carcinoembryonic antigen. Monitors colon, lung, and other cancers.
AFP
Alpha-fetoprotein. Liver cancer and germ cell tumor marker.
CA 125
Ovarian cancer marker. Also used for monitoring other gynecologic cancers.
CA 19-9
Pancreatic and gastrointestinal cancer marker.
Who Should Get Cancer Screening?
- Adults over 40 - Regular screening recommended
- Family history - Close relatives with cancer
- High-risk individuals - Smokers, heavy alcohol users
- Previous cancer patients - Monitoring for recurrence
- Unexplained symptoms - Weight loss, fatigue, persistent pain
- Chronic conditions - Hepatitis, IBD, other risk factors
Important Notes
- Tumor markers are NOT diagnostic alone - They must be combined with other tests
- False positives possible - Elevated markers don't always mean cancer
- Regular monitoring - Most valuable when tracked over time
- Consult your doctor - Always discuss results with your healthcare provider
