Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer, may include: positive germline testing for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer genes (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2), positive EPCAM gene testing, and elevated serum concentration of CEA and CA 125.[1]
Laboratory tests
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer, may include:
- Positive EPCAM gene
- Positive germline testing (MMR) for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer genes (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS-2)
- Elevated serum concentration of CEA
- Elevated serum concentration of CA-125
