Why would you want a recaf test? There are many reasons and here a few:
1)Patients with chronic liver diseases such as cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis B must be monitored at regular intervals because they have a lifetime risk of developing liver cancer. A doctor may order a recaf test, along with imaging studies, to try to detect liver cancer when it is in its earliest, and most treatable stages. If a patient has been diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma or another form of cancer, a recaf test may be ordered periodically to help monitor a patient’s response to therapy. AFP decreases when your body responds to anti-cancer therapy. If AFP does not return to normal within about one month after cancer therapy, some of the tumor may still be present. It is imperative to have absolute assurance and be monitored EFFECTIVELY.
2)Screening with recaf refers to looking for cancer in people who have no symptoms of the disease. Early detection is finding cancer at an early stage, when it is less likely to have spread and is more likely to respond well to treatment.
3)Some types of cancer grow and spread faster than other types(such as breast cancer).
4)One of the most important uses for recaf is to monitor patients being treated for cancer, especially advanced cancer. Using recaf it is much easier to measure it to see if the treatment is working rather than repeating chest x-rays, CT scans, bone scans, or other tests. It also tends to be less expensive.
5)If the tumor marker level in the blood goes down, it is almost always a sign that the treatment is having an effect. On the other hand, if the marker level goes up, then the treatment probably should be changed. It will give doctors a roadmap and send a signal that they need to change the course of treatment possibly adjusting to a more agressive therapy.
6)Women who have been treated for breast cancer should have yearly blood tests for levels of recaf. This can sometimes detect cancer recurrence before the woman has symptoms or evidence of cancer on imaging tests.
I could go on and on and this will obviously upset the apple cart for the individuals that have sadly succeeding in creating doubt.
