Test Details
Tumor marker tests for men measure specific substances produced by the body that may rise in certain conditions associated with abnormal tissue activity. These tests help in evaluating overall male health, identifying early signs that may require further examination, and monitoring treatment response. They may also assist in detecting recurrence after treatment and assessing potential risks that need deeper clinical evaluation. Tumor markers are not definitive diagnostic tools but are supportive indicators that guide further investigation.
They can detect early abnormal rises in substances associated with tumor-related activity.
Because elevations can be caused by many non-cancerous conditions, making them supportive rather than conclusive.
Tumor-related elevations tend to be persistent or progressively rising, while non-cancerous ones are often temporary.
Serial measurements are used to observe whether the markers decrease with treatment.
Infections, chronic diseases, or certain medications can lead to misleading elevations.
Abnormal cells may release higher amounts of certain substances, causing marker levels to rise.
Variations can result from age, lifestyle factors, health conditions, and biological differences.
By tracking trends in marker levels after treatment, clinicians can identify early signs of possible recurrence.
