C-peptide (connecting peptide) is a peptide (protein) of 31 amino acids that connects the two chains of proinsulin (A-/B-chain), the precursor of insulin. Proinsulin is cleaved into insulin and C-peptide. Thus, it plays an important role in the regulation of glucose metabolism (blood sugar). C-peptide concentration is considered an indicator of beta cell function. Beta … C-Peptide
Chromogranin A (CgA) refers to a tumor marker that is a member of the secretogranin family. Chromogranin A has effects on pancreatic (pancreas) function, parathyroid glands, and the immune and cardiovascular systems, among others. The procedure Materials needed Blood serum Preparation of the patient Not required Disruptive factors Renal insufficiency (kidney weakness) Normal value – … Chromogranin A
In HER2 protein (synonyms: Her2 protein; cerbB 2, Her 2/neu; HER-2; human epidermal growth factor receptor; human epidermal growth factor receptor-2/neuroblastoma) is a membrane-bound receptor that belongs to the tyrosine kinase receptors. It is found on the surface of somatic cells and tumor cells. This receptor belongs to the epidermal growth factor receptors. HER2 protein: … HER2 Protein
Liquid biopsy (synonym: liquid biopsy) is a blood-based nucleic acid analysis for the detection of tumor cells or tumor DNA in blood. Sources of tumor DNA are circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cell-free DNA (cfDNA). Furthermore, the method allows the detection (“tracking”) of cell-free mitochondrial tumor RNA (cfmiRNA) and the detection of exosomes. However, the … Liquid Biopsy compared to Tumor Biopsy: Liquid Biopsy
The Prevo-Check rapid test is a rapid test procedure for the diagnosis of HPV16-related carcinomas and their corresponding precursors, which can arise in the oral pharynx as well as in the cervix, vagina, vulva, penis, and anal area (cervix, vagina, external genitals, penis, and anal area). With early detection and treatment, the chance of survival … Prevo Check Quick Test
The Septin9 test is a diagnostic procedure for the early detection of colorectal carcinoma (colorectal cancer). The test method is based on the use of a blood test to detect the biomarker mSEPT9. The Septin9 test increases the probability of early detection and thus offers an improved chance of cure. In contrast to a colonoscopy, … Septin9 Test
Beta-2-microglobulin (synonyms: β2-microglobulin, β2-Mi) is a protein (albumen; molecular weight, approximately 12,000) used as a tumor marker* , for renal diagnosis, and as a progression parameter in HIV infection. It is glomerularly filtered and 99.8% tubularly reabsorbed. If glomerular filtration is impaired, beta-2-microglobulin increases in serum; if tubular function is impaired, beta-2-microglobulin excretion in urine … Beta-2 Microglobulin
