Tumor Markers
7 markers in this category
AFP (Alpha-Fetoprotein)
An AFP (Alpha-Fetoprotein) test measures a key liver-related tumor marker in your blood. For men, AFP is particularly relevant for monitoring liver health, especially if you have risk factors such as hepatitis or heavy alcohol use. Take control of your health by understanding this important marker. This test alone cannot diagnose cancer and must be interpreted by a healthcare professional alongside other findings.
CA 15-3
CA 15-3 is a glycoprotein marker associated with breast tissue that can also be relevant in men's health monitoring. As part of a comprehensive health check, understanding your CA 15-3 levels contributes to a complete picture of your wellbeing.
CA 19-9
CA 19-9 is a gastrointestinal marker that can be included in a comprehensive men's health panel. Tracking CA 19-9 over time gives you and your healthcare provider a clearer picture of your gastrointestinal wellbeing.
CA 72-4
CA 72-4 is a gastric marker that can be included in a comprehensive men's health panel to provide a more complete picture of digestive health.
CA-125
A CA-125 test measures a protein in your blood that is commonly associated with ovarian health but is also part of comprehensive health monitoring for men. While less commonly discussed in men's health, CA-125 can be relevant in certain clinical evaluations. Stay informed about your health markers. This test alone cannot diagnose cancer and must be interpreted by a healthcare professional alongside other findings.
CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen)
CEA is a broad tumor marker associated with colorectal, lung, and other tissue activity. For men focused on comprehensive health monitoring, CEA provides a useful data point when tracked over time. Smoking status is important for accurate interpretation.
PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen)
PSA is the cornerstone of prostate health monitoring for men. Regular monitoring enables meaningful trend analysis that supports informed decisions about your men's health.
