The Role of Biomarkers in Cancer and Health

Early diagnosis enhances treatment options and significantly improves survival rates. One promising avenue in the fight against cancer is using cancer biomarkers—biological indicators found in blood, tissues, or other bodily fluids that signal the presence of cancer. By leveraging these biomarkers, healthcare professionals can identify cancer at its earliest stages, allowing for timely intervention and better patient outcomes.

Why Early Cancer Detection Matters

When caught early, cancer is often more treatable and has a significantly higher survival rate. Detecting cancer before it spreads can increase treatment effectiveness for smaller tumors, which are generally easier to remove or treat with targeted therapies. Early cancer screening tests also improve long-term survival outcomes with less invasive treatments and shorter recovery times so patients can return to living their lives sooner.

Key Biomarkers for Early Cancer Detection

Biomarker testing involves analyzing specific biological markers that can indicate the presence of cancer. Mito Health's comprehensive and advanced biomarker testing allows you to examine your overall health, identify cancer risks, and act on the results to live a long and healthy life. 

• Total Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA): Elevated levels of PSA in the blood can indicate the presence of prostate abnormalities, prompting further investigation.
• Cancer Antigen 125 (CA-125): High levels of CA-125 can signal the presence of ovarian cancer in women, although it may also be elevated due to benign conditions.
• Fecal Occult Blood Test: This test checks for blood in the stool, which can be an early indicator of colorectal cancer or other gastrointestinal disorders.
