About Cancer & Tumor Marker Tests in Fort Collins
Tumor markers are proteins, hormones, or other molecules that can be detected in blood, urine, or tissue.
Some markers are specific to a single cancer type, while others can rise in several conditions, including benign disease. Because of this, results are interpreted in context rather than in isolation.
Common examples include prostate-specific antigen (PSA), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), CA-125, CA 19-9, and CA 15-3. Each has defined uses in screening, diagnosis support, monitoring treatment, or detecting recurrence.
A single elevated marker does not confirm cancer, and a normal marker does not rule it out. Clinicians typically compare serial results over time and correlate them with other findings.
