Tumor Marker Series
Tumor markers are substances produced by tumor cells or by the body in response to tumors. They play an important role in the early detection of asymptomatic microtumors, distinguishing tumor types, assessing treatment effectiveness, monitoring recurrence or metastasis, prognostic evaluation, and tumor screening. They can reflect the presence and growth of tumors, helping doctors classify tumors, adjust treatment plans, and serve as important indicators for assessing patient prognosis.
