Among Medicare beneficiaries with lung (n=352), breast (n=361) colorectal (n=135) and prostate (n=326) cancers, proportions of patients having tumor marker tests ranged from 2.2% to 12.8% within 90 days of the index date. Among 572 Medicare beneficiaries with advanced, metastatic or ...
It is, therefore, a good tumor marker for prostatic cancer. However, it has been reported to be elevated in benign pros-tatic hypertrophy, after prostatic massage, after biopsy proce-dures and other benign conditions, therefore, this test has not been recommended as a screening test for ...
Next-level mBC Monitoring DiviTum®TKa is an innovative tumor TK activity (TKa) profile test for early prognosis and prediction of metastatic breast cancer treatment outcomes in postmenopausal HR+ mBC patients.1-4 References: TKa as a Biomarker ...
Although American Society of Clinical Oncology guidelines discourage the use of tumor marker assessment for routine surveillance in nonmetastatic breast cancer, their use in practice is uncertain. Our objective was to determine use of tumor marker tests such as carcinoembryonic antigen and CA 15-3/CA...

Symptoms include pain, swelling, or lumps in your testicles or groin area. Doctors use a physical exam, lab tests, imaging tests, and a biopsy to diagnose testicular cancer. Most cases can be treated, especially if found early. Treatment options include surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy....
A study led by scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute has identified a tumor marker that may be used to predict which breast cancer patients will experience resistance to endocrine therapy. The research offers a new approach to
We studied three biological markers of allergic disease to operationalize allergy, whereas the majority of previous studies used questionnaires or investigated associations between cancer types and asthma, assuming an underlying atopic constitution that was not tested formally using objective allergy tests. ...
Other gene-expression-based tests, such as Oncotype DX, have applications as predictive biomarkers of chemotherapy response and cancer prognosis (see Section 5.5). 4.6. IHC IHC is a routinely used method in cancer diagnostics/pathology for detecting proteins expressed by cancer cells in tumor ...
In contrast, MRI may overestimate tumor extent [22]. Together, mammography and MRI are more sensitive than other tests or combination of tests [22]. Usually, mastectomy is the chosen surgical procedure for advanced-stage breast cancer [23]. Gu et al. [23] suggests that breast conservation ...
