Does everyone get the CgA test when doing bloodwork? My Oncologist does not order it.

I used to get the CgA bloodwork every 3-6 months. Since my cytoreductive surgery they started ordering it monthly. Out of all the tests they run, the CgA has been the most consistent for me monitoring tumor growth. Prior to 2nd surgery the highest level was 88 & NETS had metastasized everywhere; after surgery its been in low 20’s consistently.

my oncologist always requires a CgA test be done before I see him

I used to have CgA test done every 3 months (before my CT scans). Now I have it every 6 mo when I see my oncologist and have a CT

My MD ordered CgA tests only after the fine needle biopsy results show the PAN NeT.
Best to you
