What if the most dangerous cancer risks aren’t visible on a scan or felt in the body—but quietly building in your blood, urine, and genes?

In cancer care, guessing is gambling. Symptoms can be vague, and even “clean” imaging doesn’t mean the terrain is safe. That’s why lab testing isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. From glucose and ketones to hormone metabolites and heavy metals, these biomarkers reveal the biochemical landscape cancer cells exploit—and the ones we can disrupt.
