Why tumour marker tests are done

Tumour marker tests are done to: look for cancer in people who have a strong family history of a particular cancer but don’t have symptoms (screening)

  •            diagnose cancer
  •            see how far the cancer has spread (staging)
  •            predict how aggressive the cancer is likely to be
  •            predict what treatment the cancer is likely to respond to
  •            predict how likely it is that the cancer will come back (recur) after treatment
  •            find out if cancer treatment is working or see if cancer has come back after treatment
