About Cancer & Tumor Marker Tests in Compton
Tumor markers are measurable biological signals, most often proteins or hormones, that can be elevated in the presence of malignancy.
Each marker is associated with particular cancer types. For example, prostate-specific antigen is linked to prostate tissue, CA-125 to ovarian and other tissues, and carcinoembryonic antigen to several cancers including colorectal.
Results are interpreted as concentrations, not as yes-or-no answers. A high value may occur with benign conditions such as inflammation, infection, or pregnancy, while a normal value does not exclude cancer.
Because of this overlap, tumor marker tests are most useful when tracked over time in a known clinical context, such as monitoring response to treatment or detecting recurrence, rather than for general screening in people without symptoms.
