About cancer screening tests
Tumour markers are risk indicators and monitoring tools. On their own they cannot confirm or rule out cancer, and raised levels can also occur in conditions that are not cancer, so results are interpreted alongside a clinical examination and imaging. PSA relates to the prostate, CA-125 is used to monitor ovarian cancer, and CEA is used mainly to monitor colorectal cancer.
Who these tests are commonly ordered for
Doctors commonly order these tests for men discussing prostate screening, for people with a family history of prostate, ovarian, breast or colorectal cancer, and for people being monitored during or after cancer treatment. A doctor can advise whether and how often to test.
Preparation
No fasting is needed for any of these tests. Sample type: blood.
