About Cancer & Tumor Marker Tests in Fleming Island
Tumor markers are biological molecules that may be produced by cancer cells or by the body in response to a tumor.
Commonly measured markers include carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), CA 125, CA 19-9, CA 15-3, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Each marker is linked to particular cancer types and clinical contexts, and no single marker is specific to one disease.
Results are reported as numeric concentrations and compared with reference ranges established by the performing laboratory. Because reference ranges differ between methods and instruments, values should be interpreted using the range supplied with the report rather than ranges from other sources.
Tumor marker levels can rise for reasons unrelated to cancer, including inflammation, infection, benign conditions, and smoking. Conversely, not all cancers produce measurable markers. For these reasons, results are interpreted in the context of the patient's history, imaging findings, and other diagnostic procedures.
