iHope Clinic - Tumor Markers Panel
This broad, multi-organ tumor marker panel measures specific proteins, antigens, and antibodies circulating in the blood that are frequently elevated in response to malignancies across the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and reproductive systems.
| Tumor Marker | Primary Associated Cancers | Common Benign / Non-Cancerous Causes |
| AFP (Alpha-fetoprotein) | Liver (hepatocellular carcinoma), germ cell tumors | Hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver regeneration, pregnancy |
| CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen) | Colorectal, stomach, lung, breast | Cigarette smoking, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), pancreatitis |
| CA 19-9 | Pancreatic, bile duct (cholangiocarcinoma), gastric | Gallstones, jaundice, pancreatitis, biliary tract obstruction |
| CA-125 | Ovarian, endometrial | Endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids, pregnancy |
| CA 15-3 | Breast | Benign breast conditions, chronic hepatitis, liver disease |
| CA 72-4 | Gastric (stomach), ovarian | Gastritis, peptic ulcers, pancreatitis |
| SCC (Squamous Cell Carcinoma Antigen) | Cervical, esophageal, head & neck, squamous lung | Psoriasis, eczema, asthma, chronic kidney disease |
| EBV VCA IgA | Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) | Active or past Epstein-Barr virus (mononucleosis) infection |
| NSE (Neuron-specific Enolase) | Small cell lung cancer (SCLC), neuroendocrine tumors | Hemolyzed blood samples (red blood cell breakdown), benign lung disease |
| CYFRA 21-1 | Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), bladder | Chronic kidney disease, liver cirrhosis, pulmonary infections |
-
High Rate of Non-Cancerous Elevation: Most markers on this panel can rise due to transient inflammation, benign tissue growth, organ impairment, or lifestyle factors like smoking.
-
Not Standalone Diagnostic Tools: A value slightly above the reference range does not equal a cancer diagnosis. Diagnostic confirmation always requires tissue biopsies, endoscopy, or diagnostic imaging (CT, MRI, ultrasound).
-
Primary Clinical Role: While widely used in comprehensive health checkup packages, these markers are most effective for tracking treatment response and monitoring for potential cancer recurrence in individuals with known diagnoses.
