Order Cancer & Tumor Marker TestsCancer and tumor marker tests are blood tests that measure substances produced by certain cancers or by the body in response to cancer. These markers can be proteins, hormones, enzymes, or other molecules, and they are used alongside imaging, biopsies, and clinical exams rather than as stand-alone diagnostic tools.
About Cancer & Tumor Marker Tests in Peekskill
Tumor markers are measurable biological signals that may be elevated in some cancers, but they can also rise for benign reasons.
Tumor markers are substances found in blood, urine, or tissue that can be associated with certain types of cancer. Common examples include prostate-specific antigen (PSA), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), CA-125, CA 19-9, and CA 15-3. Each marker has its own pattern of expression, and none is perfectly specific to a single cancer type.
These tests are most often used to monitor a known cancer over time, to help assess response to treatment, or to watch for recurrence after treatment. In some situations they may support initial evaluation, but a marker result alone cannot confirm or rule out cancer. Diagnosis generally requires a tissue sample and other clinical findings.
Results are interpreted against reference ranges that vary by laboratory, and trends over time are usually more informative than a single value. A mildly elevated result can occur with inflammation, infection, or other non-cancerous conditions, so clinicians consider the full clinical picture when deciding what a result means.
