Tumor / Cancer screening tests

Biomarkers included in this panel:

Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP)

Other names: total AFP, alpha-fetoprotein-L3 Percent Healthy adults should have very low levels of AFP. AFP stands for alpha-fetoprotein. It is a protein made in the liver of a developing baby. AFP levels are usually high when a baby is born, b

CA 125

A CA 125 test may be used to monitor certain cancers during and after treatment. In some cases, a CA 125 test may be used to look for early signs of ovarian cancer in people with a very high risk of the disease.

CA 15-3

Cancer antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3) is used to monitor response to breast cancer treatment and disease recurrence. The reference range of serum CA 15-3 is less than 30 U/mL. The upper limit of the range varies depending on the laboratory and kit used fo

CA 19-9

A CA 19-9 test measures the amount of a protein called CA 19-9 (cancer antigen 19-9) in a sample of your blood. CA 19-9 is a type of tumor marker. Tumor markers are substances made by cancer cells or by normal cells in response to cancer in your body

CA 27.29

Blood

The cancer antigen 27.29 test (CA 27.29) is a blood test that measures the levels of glycoprotein produced by the mucin-1 (MUC1) gene. The level of CA 27.29, also known as 27.29, is used as a tumor marker to measure the activity of the disease in

CA 72-4

Serum

Elevated CA72-4 levels in serum and plasma are seen in the pancreas, gallbladder, colon, cervix, and endometrium carcinomas. CA 72-4, also known as cancer antigen 72-4, is a protein that is commonly found in high levels in the blood of individuals

Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA)

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a glycoprotein, which is present in normal mucosal cells but increased amounts are associated with adenocarcinoma, especially colorectal cancer. CEA therefore has a role as a tumour marker. Sensitivity and specificit

CD19

The CD19 antigen (aka B-lymphocyte antigen CD19 or Cluster of Differentiation 19) plays an important role in clinical oncology. It’s a protein found on the surface of B-cells, a type of white blood cell.

Chromogranin A (CgA)

Serum

Chromogranin-A (CgA) is an acidic glycoprotein expressed in the secretory granules of most normal and neoplastic neuroendocrine (NE) cell types, where it is released together with peptide hormones and biogenic amines. Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are

CYFRA 21-1 (Cytokeratin 19 Fragment)

The CYFRA 21-1 is well known as tumor maker of lung cancer and is not influenced by environmental factors. CYRFA 21-1 (cytokeratin 19 fragment) has been demonstrated as clinically useful in the prognostication and monitoring of non-small cell lung

Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 (MMP 9)

Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), also known as gelatinase B, is a critical enzyme in the human body that plays a vital role in remodeling the extracellular matrix, the network of proteins and other substances surrounding cells. It belongs to a lar

MMP-9 (Matrix Metalloproteinase-9)

MMP-9 is a marker of inflammation, tissue remodeling, wound healing, and mobilization of tissue-bound growth factors and cytokines. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in the progression of tumour cells and the invasion of infl

Neuron-specific Enolase (NSE)

Serum

Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) is a key biomarker predominantly found in neurons and neuroendocrine cells, making it highly valuable for clinical diagnostics and monitoring neurological and neuroendocrine disorders. NSE is a glycolytic enzyme that pla

PapIG, HPV, rfx 16/18

PapIG, HPV, Rfx 16/18, refers to a series of tests used in cervical cancer screening. The Pap test, or Pap smear, is a procedure that collects cells from the cervix to detect precancerous or cancerous cell changes. HPV refers to the human papil

Prostate Cancer Risk Score

Total Prostate Specific Antigen (TPSA) is a serine protease produced by prostate cells, primarily used as a biomarker for the screening and monitoring of prostate cancer. While elevated TPSA levels can indicate the presence of prostate cancer, they c

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)

Serum

The Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test measures the amount of prostate specific antigen proteins made by the prostate gland and prostate cancers. It is used as a screen for prostate cancer, or a way to monitor progress of prostate cancer patients.
