Overview

Tumor markers are substances that are produced by cancer cells or by the body in response to cancer and can be detected in blood, urine, or tissue samples. For colorectal cancer, tumor markers can be used to help diagnose, monitor, and detect relapses of the disease. When measured with other tests such as imaging, they can help to determine the severity and stage of the cancer. Tumor markers can also be used to help decide which type of treatment is most suitable, and to monitor the effectiveness of treatment. Tumor markers for colorectal cancer are an important tool in helping to diagnose, monitor, and treat the disease and therefore have a significant impact on patient care.
