Tumor markers are substances, usually proteins, that your body makes in response to cancer or that are made by the cancer itself. We can measure tumor markers in your blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid or tissue material.
Some tumor markers belong to one type of cancer; others occur in multiple types. These substances do not prove that there is a tumor: we also find them in other diseases and even in healthy people. So the result alone does not say everything. Tumor markers can help us make a diagnosis, but only in combination with other research.
Above all, they tell a hospital a lot about the course of your disease.
This site tells you which tumor markers can be determined for different types of cancers.
