Does having higher WBC levels indicate cancer?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Nothing to be worried about.

Make sure BP (blood pressure) is under control.

Maintain an active lifestyle.

Kind regards.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

It is unlikely to be cancer without any symptoms and signs, and other parameters being under control. Some factors are mentioned below,

• Chronic weight loss.
• Low appetite.
• Deranged vitals.
• High-risk patients with smoking, alcohol and non-vegetarian foods.
• BP not under control.
• Family history of cancer.

Regular physical examinations and investigations to rule out any internal developments do help.

Look for your breast in the mirror each morning, and self-examine it to detect the chances early.

Getting a Pap smear to rule out cervical cancer is helpful.

Slight variation from the generalized normal range is acceptable, especially in the absence of any symptoms, signs, and other normal parameters.

I hope you find it helpful.

Kind regards.

The WBC (white blood cell) counts are borderline high. However, based on that, I cannot declare you as a cancer patient. You have to be examined physically. A differential diagnosis has to be made for high WBC. It has to be correlated with other symptoms and vitals. I suggest you get a repeat test in a few weeks from another laboratory to rule out errors.

Thank you.

In the absence of any other symptoms and normal vitals, there is nothing to be worried about. A physical examination can be done if you are very worried. I suggest you follow a balanced nutritious diet and maintain an active lifestyle.

I hope this helps.
