Hello, Bro!

What is CMP?

Which specific indicators of a general blood test should be compared with each other and how should they be compared (increase/decrease)?

@denis76 With regular bloodwork - which most should probably be getting with their annual overall health checkup - PSA & testosterone are just two prostate cancer related markers.

> CMP: Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (about 2 dozen blood markers)
> CBC: Complete Blood Count (over a dozen different blood markers)

And depending on where you are in your prostate cancer journey, there are additional blood, tissue, or urine marker tests, the results of which may play a role in diagnosis.
