Order Cancer & Tumor Marker TestsCancer and tumor marker tests are blood tests that measure substances produced by certain cancers or by the body in response to cancer. They are most often used alongside imaging, biopsy, and clinical examination rather than as stand-alone diagnostic tools. Results are interpreted in the context of a person's history and other findings.
About Cancer & Tumor Marker Tests in Port Huron
Tumor markers are measurable molecules, commonly proteins or hormones, that can be elevated in some cancers.
A tumor marker is a substance that can be detected in blood, urine, or tissue and may be produced by cancer cells or by normal cells in response to cancer. Because many markers also rise with benign conditions, an abnormal level alone does not confirm cancer, and a normal level does not rule it out.
These tests are typically ordered to help monitor a known diagnosis, assess response to treatment, or watch for recurrence after therapy. Some markers, such as prostate-specific antigen or alpha-fetoprotein, have defined roles in screening or diagnosis for specific situations, but most are not used as general population screening tests.
Results are reported as numeric values with a reference range, and trends over time are often more informative than a single measurement. Clinicians combine marker results with imaging, pathology, and symptoms to make decisions, and they may repeat a test to confirm a change before adjusting care.
