Tumor Marker

Tumor marker tests use a sample of blood to look for chemicals made by cancer cells.

These tests don’t always help with diagnosing cancer because many healthy cells also make these chemicals. And some conditions that aren’t cancer can cause high levels of tumor markers. Instead, tumor marker tests are mostly used after your cancer diagnosis to see if treatment is working.

Examples of tumor markers include prostate-specific antigen (PSA) for prostate cancer and cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) for ovarian cancer. Other examples include carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) for colon cancer and alpha-fetoprotein for testicular cancer.
