Hormone & Tumour Marker Blood Tests in Crewe

At Easy Medical Centre in Crewe, we offer individual private blood tests for hormone imbalances and tumour markers — ideal if you need a specific test rather than a full health screening profile.

What is a hormone test?

A hormone test detects imbalances in the chemicals your body produces to regulate essential functions — from sleep and metabolism to fertility and mood. Symptoms of hormone imbalance can include fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, and irregular periods. We offer individual tests for testosterone, oestradiol, progesterone, prolactin, FSH, LH, SHBG, DHEA Sulphate, and more.

What are tumour markers?

A tumour marker is a substance produced by cancer cells, or by the body in response to cancer, that can provide information about the presence, type, or progression of certain cancers. Tumour marker tests are not diagnostic on their own but are used alongside clinical assessment for monitoring or risk screening. We offer individual tests including PSA (prostate), CA125 (ovarian), CA15-3 (breast), CA19-9 (pancreatic/gastrointestinal), AFP (liver), and CEA (colorectal and other cancers).

All tests are processed by our UKAS-accredited partner laboratory RCLS (Lab 9329), with results typically available within 1–5 working days depending on the specific test.

Hormone & Tumour Marker Tests in Crewe — Your Questions Answered (FAQ)

Do tumour marker tests diagnose cancer?

No. Tumour marker tests alone cannot diagnose cancer. They are used alongside other clinical information — symptoms, imaging, and physical examination — to help assess risk, monitor treatment response, or track disease progression. Always discuss your results with a GP or specialist.

Which hormone test should I choose if I'm not sure what's wrong?

If you're experiencing symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, or irregular periods, but aren't sure which specific hormone to test, our Advanced Well Man Profile, Advanced Well Woman Profile, or Perimenopause & Menopause Test may be more suitable, as they cover a broader hormone panel in one appointment. Contact our team for guidance on the best individual test for your symptoms.

Do I need to fast before a hormone or tumour marker blood test?

It depends on the specific test. Some hormone tests are unaffected by food, while others (particularly those measured alongside glucose or lipid panels) may require fasting. We will confirm this when you book your appointment.

How long does it take to get hormone or tumour marker test results?

Most tests are ready within 1–3 working days. Some specialist tests, such as Thyroid Receptor Antibodies, may take 6–8 days. Turnaround times are listed for each individual test above.

Can I book multiple hormone or tumour marker tests together?

Yes. Multiple tests can be combined in a single blood draw. Contact our team on +44 (0) 1270 916080 to discuss which tests can be processed together.
