About Cancer & Tumor Marker Tests in Oxnard
Tumor markers are proteins, hormones, or other molecules that can be detected in blood and, in some cases, other body fluids.
Each marker is associated with particular cancer types, but none is perfectly specific. Elevated levels can occur in benign conditions, and normal levels do not rule out disease.
Clinicians order these tests to support a suspected diagnosis, to monitor response to treatment, or to watch for recurrence after therapy. Results are interpreted against a patient's history and other findings.
Common examples include prostate-specific antigen, carcinoembryonic antigen, alpha-fetoprotein, and carbohydrate antigens such as CA-125 and CA 19-9. Each has distinct uses and limitations.
