Serum (Tumour) markers

Serum (Tumour) markers are specific substances present in the blood/ urine of patients that help in the detection and monitoring of cancers.

They are generally used for screening, staging of cancer, to evaluate the success of treatment, to detect recurrence and to monitor response to therapy.
