Absolutely nothing to worry about. You have a hemoglobin of 12 which is pretty good. PCV changes based on your water intake on a daily basis so it can be slightly high or low every now and then. I can say with 100% assurance that there is no correlation with cancer here. If you are worried about kidney disease,  you can simply check your renal function test ( if it wasn't already done )
Next Steps
A balanced diet adequate in fruits, vegetables and good protein sources regular exercise ( 30 mins a day for 5 days a week)

Please seek a proper consultation with a General Physician. Your very first sentence is ambiguous. We don't take the MCV test. MCV is one of the components of the blood report. Please discuss what your symptoms are and why you got this test done.

Your CBC test results are normal.A marginally lower pcv is not significant, you don't need to be concerned about the report.
