What is Cancer Marker Profile?

A Cancer Marker Profile is a blood test that measures the levels of various substances (tumor markers) in your blood that can be produced by cancer cells or by the body in response to cancer. While not used for primary diagnosis, these markers can provide valuable information for monitoring cancer progression, treatment effectiveness, or recurrence.

Why is this test important?

This profile is clinically important for monitoring patients diagnosed with cancer, helping to track how well treatment is working or to detect if cancer has returned after treatment. It can also be used in conjunction with other tests to assess prognosis. Regular monitoring helps in making timely adjustments to treatment plans.
