Early cancer detection screening with comprehensive tumor markers for major cancers.

Cancer marker blood tests measure substances produced by cancer cells or by your body in response to cancer. Common markers include PSA (prostate-specific antigen) for prostate cancer screening, CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) used in colorectal cancer monitoring, CA-125 for ovarian cancer, and AFP (alpha-fetoprotein) for liver cancer. It's important to understand that tumor markers are not diagnostic on their own — elevated levels can have non-cancerous causes, and some cancers don't produce detectable markers. They are most valuable for monitoring treatment response, detecting recurrence, and as part of a broader screening strategy alongside imaging and clinical assessment.
