About Cancer & Tumor Marker Tests in Keystone
Tumor markers are proteins, hormones, or other molecules that can be detected in blood and sometimes in other body fluids.
Some markers are produced directly by tumor cells, while others reflect the body's reaction to a tumor. Because benign conditions can also raise marker levels, results are interpreted in context rather than in isolation.
Common examples include CA-125, CEA, AFP, PSA, CA 19-9, and CA 15-3. Each marker is associated with particular cancer types, and a panel is chosen based on the clinical question being asked.
These tests are most often used to monitor a known cancer over time, to assess response to treatment, or to watch for recurrence. They are generally not recommended as screening tests for the general population because of limited sensitivity and specificity.
