Overview
Some patients with small intestine cancer may have elevated concentration of liver enzymes, which is usually suggestive of possible spread to the liver or blockage of the bile duct.
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory findings in patients with small intestine cancer include:[1]
- Complete blood count and differential count - anemia
- Fecal occult blood test (FOBT) - demonstrates occult bleeding from the intestines
- Serum carcino-embryogenic antigen (CEA) and CA 19-9 - elevated concentrations are associated with large tumor masses, and have a poor prognosis
- Low serum iron levels
- Low serum vitamin B12 and folate levels
- Hypercalcemia - with metastasis to the bone
Test for Metastasis
- Abnormal liver function tests
- Abnormal pulmonary function tests
