What does a high blood test for cancer mean?

If the tumor marker of blood test is high, further related examination should be carried out, for example, gastroscopy and colonoscopy can be carried out when the tumor marker of gastrointestinal tract is high. If the tumor markers of the lungs are high, chest CT examination can be performed, and then further treatment can be performed according to the results of the examination.
