Abstract

Tumor markers are molecules, which can be elevated in the presence of a neoplastic process, either as a host reaction or as a consequence of the tumor itself. These molecules, whose serum concentration also depends on the biological variability of the patient, are detectable in different biological fluids. A review of 27 bibliographic references was carried out in order to describe the updated clinical use of tumor markers in cancer, where sources of information from Medical Sciences were consulted. The concentration of the marker reflects the success of a therapeutic procedure such as surgery, chemotherapy. It was concluded that an increase in the value of tumor markers does not always suggest the presence of cancer; its main use is for prognosis and monitoring.
