About this test
Overview of Beta-2 Microglobulin Tumor Marker Test
The beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) tumor marker test is used to measure the levels of B2M protein in body fluids. This protein is found on the surface of many cells and can be a useful indicator of certain cancers and immune system conditions.
What the Test Measures
The B2M test typically uses a blood sample, but it can also be performed using urine or, in rare cases, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Elevated levels of beta-2 microglobulin can indicate the presence or progression of cancers such as multiple myeloma, lymphoma, or chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.
Why This Test Is Important
As a tumor marker, B2M helps doctors assess the severity of disease, monitor treatment response, and detect relapses in cancer patients. It may also be used to evaluate kidney function or immune disorders.
When Is the Test Recommended?
This test is often recommended for individuals undergoing evaluation for blood-related cancers or those already diagnosed and being monitored for disease progression or treatment effectiveness.
