Tumor Markers Manufacturers

Tumor Markers are substances that are produced by normal tissues in minute quantities but are secreted in excess by malignantly transformed tissues and in other pathological states. The common clinically useful tumor markers in wide usage include carcinoembryonic antigen, prostatic specific antigen, alpha fetoprptein, carbohydrate antigen and carbohydrate antigen. Tumor markers are more frequently used to predict tumor recurrence before it is detected by clinical or paraclinical means. These tumor markers include hormones, oncofetal antigens, isozymes, proteins, mucins and glycoproteins.
