Understanding HCG Beta Total, Tumor Marker in New Delhi


What is HCG Beta Total, Tumor Marker in New Delhi?

The HCG Beta Total, Tumor Marker test measures the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) hormone in both males and females. While it is normally produced during pregnancy in females, its abnormal levels in both males and females can indicate certain types of cancers such as germ cell tumors (testicular cancer in males and ovarian cancer in females). This test is used primarily for diagnosing, monitoring, and managing these types of cancers and is available in New Delhi at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs.

The HCG Beta Total, Tumor Marker test may be advised when an individual has symptoms including vaginal bleeding or discharge not related to periods (menstruation), larger-than-usual uterus while pregnant, abdominal or pelvic pain, high blood pressure, or swollen hands and feet early in pregnancy or prolonged vaginal bleeding after childbirth or miscarriage, solid and firm lump in a testicle that grows bigger (with or without pain), pain or heaviness in the scrotum, groin pain, oddly shaped testicle, back pain, etc. No special preparation is needed for this test. You can eat and drink as per your daily routine. 

What does HCG Beta Total, Tumor Marker measure?

The HCG Beta Total, Tumor Marker test measures the amount of HCG hormone in the blood. HCG beta is normally produced by the placenta in pregnant females for the maintenance of pregnancy. In men and non-pregnant females, it is produced by abnormal cancer cells like germ cell tumors and hence acts as a tumor marker. Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is associated with very considerable elevations of hCG, usually twice that for normal gestational age, and hence this test may be diagnostic for the same. The HCG Beta Total, Tumor Marker test is significant in the diagnosis and monitoring of certain types of cancers, especially germ cell tumors, and trophoblastic disease.
