Our Tumor marker tests can help identify different types of tumors that most commonly affect men. The package includes laboratory measurements of tumor markers that are elevated in liver, stomach, lung, large intestine (colon), prostate, and testicular lesions.
Tumor markers can indicate disease recurrence or metastasis several months earlier than imaging techniques or onset of clinical symptoms.

Tumor markers alone are not suitable for exclusive screening!

A negative result does not exclude the presence of a tumor!

These tumor markers are not specific!

When liver cells are formed, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is produced. Its level is elevated in liver, ovarian and testicular cancer. Among the test parameters, cancer antigen 19-9 (CA-19-9) may indicate pancreatic, bile duct, colon, lung, or gallbladder tumor. Elevated cancer antigen 50 (CA-50) may be the sign of gastrointestinal tumors. CA 72-4 is parameter to monitor the disease progression and the treatment of patients with gastric and ovarian cancer.

β-2-microglobulin (B2M) is produced by the body’s immune system (B lymphocytes) or by tumor cells. It can also be used to diagnose certain kidney diseases (glomerular dysfunction). Its level is elevated in tumors affecting the hematopoietic system (multiple myeloma, lymphoma, B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin’s disease, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma) as well as the testes.

The carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is produced by embryonic and tumor cells. Its level can be elevated in gastrointestinal tumors or in breast, lung, liver, pancreatic and ovarian cancers. In non-small cell lung cancer (mainly squamous cell and large cell carcinoma subtypes), CYFRA 21 1 is considered the most suitable biomarker.

In women, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is produced in placental cells and plays a role in the maintenance of the corpus luteum during pregnancy. Its elevated level may indicate pancreatic or testicular tumors.

Lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein that is also present in neutrophil granulocytes involved in the inflammatory immune response. Thus, its level correlates with inflammatory processes in gastrointestinal diseases. Its level may also be elevated in colorectal tumors.

Calprotectin is a calcium-, zinc- and manganese-binding protein produced by neutrophil granulocytes and monocytes. Its level may also be elevated in colorectal tumors.

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is produced by the epithelial cells of the prostate gland. PSA levels higher than 10 ng/ml are likely to indicate the presence of prostate cancer. For screening, the free PSA fraction and the total PSA/free PSA ratio are evaluated. Free PSA levels are lower in prostate cancer and higher in prostate enlargement. Annual PSA screening is recommended for people over 45 years of age, as early diagnosis of malignant prostate cancer is curable.

The measurement of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) can be used to monitor the efficacy of therapy and to assess changes in the condition of patients with tumors, particularly small-cell lung cancer and neuroblastoma.

The measurement of S-100 protein can be used to support the management of patients with malignant melanoma and to support the management of patients with brain injury (traumatic brain injury or stroke).

Chromogranin A (CgA) can be used to diagnose neuroendocrine tumors and to monitor therapy in treated patients. Neuroendocrine tumors can arise in almost any organ of the human body, most commonly arising from the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas, and the bronchial system. The concentration of chromogranin A correlates with disease activity and tumor size.

The SCC antigen is used for the follow-up of squamous cell carcinomas.
Pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP) is a sensitive tumor marker of neuroendocrine cancers.

These tumor markers are not specific!

CA 19-9 levels may also be elevated in biliary cancer, pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis and liver disease.
Elevated serum levels of CA 72-4 may also occur in certain non-malignant diseases (e.g. pneumonia, pancreatitis, and liver cirrhosis).
CEA levels may be elevated in inflammation, cirrhosis, ulcers and in heavy smokers.

Elevated CYFRA 21 1 levels have also been described in non-malignant diseases (e.g. pneumonia, sepsis) and abnormal kidney function.
High AFP levels may also be seen in hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatitis.
β-2-microglobulin (B2M) level can be elevated in renal inflammation, autoimmune diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Sjögren’s syndrome (SjS), Crohn’s disease and infections (cytomegalovirus (CMV), nonA-nonB hepatitis, mononucleosis infectiosa, HIV).
PSA levels can also rise in benign prostatic enlargement (hyperplasia).
Elevated NSE levels may also occur in malignant neuroendocrine diseases, many other tumor diseases and clinical pathologies.
Chromogranin A may also be elevated in pheochromocytoma, pancreatic and prostate tumors.

Tests:

  • Tumor markers (serum test): alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), β-2-Microglobulin (B2M), cancer antigen 19-9 (CA-19-9), cancer antigen 50 (CA-50), cancer antigen 72-4 (CA-72-4), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), chromagranin A (CgA), Cyfra-21-1, free β Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (free β-HCG), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), free prostate-specific antigen (PSA free), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), S-100 protein, pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen
