Telomerase is an enzyme whose determination is suitable as a tumor marker. Tumor markers are endogenous substances produced by tumors and detectable in the blood. They can provide an indication of a malignant neoplasm and are used as a follow-up test in cancer aftercare. Telomerase is an enzyme of the cell nucleus. After each cell … Telomerase
Thymidine kinase (TK) is a cellular enzyme involved in the incorporation of the nucleoside (basic building block of nucleic acid) thymidine into DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Its concentration is thus a measure of the division activity of cells.Since malignant diseases of the blood-forming and lymphatic systems in particular are characterized by high rates of cell division, … Thymidine Kinase
Thyroglobulin (TG; synonym: human thyroglobulin, hTG) is the storage form of thyroid hormones. When needed, active thyroid hormones are released from it into the blood. Thyroglobulin can also be used as a so-called tumor marker. Tumor markers are substances produced naturally in the body by tumors and detectable in the blood. They can provide an … Thyroglobulin
CA 125 (synonym: cancer antigen 125) is a so-called tumor marker. Tumor markers are substances produced naturally in the body by tumors and are detectable in the blood. They can provide an indication of a malignant (malignant) neoplasm and serve as a follow-up examination in the context of cancer aftercare. The procedure Material needed Blood … Cancer Antigen 125 (CA 125)
CA 15-3 (synonym: cancer antigen 15-3) is a so-called tumor marker.Tumor markers are endogenous substances that are produced by tumors and are detectable in the blood. They can provide an indication of a malignant (malignant) neoplasm and serve as a follow-up test in the context of cancer aftercare. The procedure Material needed Blood serum Preparation … Cancer Antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3)
CA 19-9 (synonym: carbohydrate antigen 19-9; gastrointestinal cancer antigen) is a so-called tumor marker. Tumor markers are endogenous substances that are produced by tumors and can be detected in the blood. They can provide an indication of a malignant (malignant) neoplasm and are used as a follow-up test in cancer aftercare. The procedure Material needed … Cancer Antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9)
CA 50 (synonym: cancer antigen 50) is a so-called tumor marker. Tumor markers are substances produced naturally in the body by tumors and are detectable in the blood. They can provide an indication of a malignant (malignant) neoplasm and serve as a follow-up examination in the context of cancer aftercare. The procedure Material needed Blood … Cancer Antigen 50 (CA 50)
CA 72-4 (synonym: cancer antigen 72-4) is a so-called tumor marker. Tumor markers are substances produced naturally in the body by tumors and are detectable in the blood. They can provide an indication of a malignant (malignant) neoplasm and serve as a follow-up test in the context of cancer aftercare. The procedure Material needed Blood … Cancer Antigen 72-4 (CA 72-4)
CEA (synonym: carcinoembryonic antigen) is a so-called tumor marker.Tumor markers are substances produced naturally in the body by tumors and are detectable in the blood. They can provide an indication of a malignant neoplasm and are used as a follow-up test in cancer aftercare.CEA is considered the most important tumor marker for colon carcinoma (cancer … Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA)
Calcitonin (synonyms: hCT, thyrocalcitonin) is a hormone produced by C cells in the thyroid gland. Calcitonin is secreted (released) when calcium levels rise and lowers blood calcium concentrations by inhibiting osteoclasts (cells that break down bone). Furthermore, calcitonin causes delay in gastric emptying and renal (kidney) reabsorption (reuptake) of calcium and phosphate. Calcitonin is the … Calcitonin: Function and Effects
Cytokeratin fragment 21-1 (synonyms: CYFRA 21-1; cytokeratin 19 fragments) is a component of the cytoskeleton. CYFRA 21-1 can be used as a so-called tumor marker. Tumor markers are endogenous substances produced by tumors and detectable in the blood. They can provide an indication of a malignant (malignant) neoplasm and serve as a follow-up test in … Cytokeratin Fragment 21-1 (CYFRA 21-1)
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a gonadotropin that is physiologically (naturally) produced during pregnancy. Outside of pregnancy, an elevated HCG level is considered tumor-specific. Tumor markers are endogenous substances that are produced by tumors and are detectable in the blood. They can provide an indication of a malignant (malignant) neoplasm and are used as a … Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG)
