Key Takeaways Calretinin and mesothelin are two biomarkers that can be measured through blood tests to help diagnose mesothelioma. On their own, neither is sufficient — but when analyzed together, they are significantly more accurate. Mesothelin (MSLN) is a surface protein produced in small amounts by healthy mesothelial cells. In mesothelioma, mesothelin is significantly elevated […]
