Tumor/Cancer Markers Tests
Cancer
is a
group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to spread
to other parts of the body. There are more than 100 types of cancer such as: lung
cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, skin cancer, colon cancer, prostate
cancer, and lymphoma. As the leading causes of morbidity
and mortality worldwide, according to WHO, cancers account for approximately 14
million new cases and 8.2 million deaths in 2012.
In response to the cancers, the body or the tumors themselves can make
substances previously not existing in the body or elevate the levels of some
pre-existing substances, such as AFP, CEA, PSA. These substances found in the
blood, urine, or body tissues of a person with cancer are termed as tumor
markers. Thus far, more than 20 different tumor markers have been characterized
and are in clinical use.
Along with other diagnostic tests, testing for tumor markers can screen
high-risk individuals, confirm the diagnosis and predict prognosis.
Periodically measures of tumor markers during cancer therapy can monitor and
guide the treatment. Measuring the tumor markers after treatment can check for
recurrence.
Along with the international efforts to conquer cancer, Creative
Diagnostics makes it available to identify the cancers in early time with its
testing kits as follows:
• Hp-Hb | • Hb (stool) |
• Lactoferrin (stool) | • CEA (serum) |
• AFP (serum) | • TSH (serum) |
• HPV 16/18 (swab) | • transferrin (stool) |
• Bence Jones Protein (urine) | • PSA (serum, whole blood) |
• Ferritin (serum/plasma/whole blood) | • Hb,Tf (stool) |
• FRT (stool) |
