Can the D-Dimer Test Be Used for Cancer Diagnosis?
While the D-Dimer test can indicate abnormal clotting activity, it is not a diagnostic tool for cancer itself. Elevated D-dimer levels can be seen in many conditions, so the test alone cannot confirm a cancer diagnosis. However, it can be part of a broader diagnostic work-up when cancer is suspected, especially in patients presenting with symptoms that suggest clotting disorders.
