Can any other forms of cancer be detected in blood work done on a routine cancer blood work done for HCL?


Can any other forms of cancer be detected in blood work done on a routine cancer blood work done for HCL?I have been in remission for Hairy Cell Leukemia 2 years and 6 months 13 days When I go in and have blood work done To check for cancer cells and my white count Does it detect any other cancer

Answer by Auntie*M
No. Not unless they are deliberately doing some routine screening tests, like a PSA level.

The routine labs to follow up on leukemia treatment do not detect other cancers.

Feel free to ask you doctor for a copy of all your lab results. Then you will know exactly what was done.

And by the way, Congratulations on your remission!
