MUC-16 is a member of the mucin family glycoproteins ...
Mainly pancreatic cancer, but also colorectal cancer and other types of gastrointestinal cancer. [11] CA-125: Mainly ovarian cancer, [12] but may also be elevated in for example endometrial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer and gastrointestinal cancer. [13] Calcitonin: medullary thyroid carcinoma [14] Calretinin
Occasional lung or breast cancer CA-125: Ovarian cancer: MUC-1: Breast cancer: Epithelial tumor antigen (ETA) Breast cancer: Tyrosinase: Malignant melanoma: normally present in minute quantities; greatly elevated levels in melanoma Melanoma-associated antigen (MAGE) Malignant melanoma: Also normally present in the testis: abnormal products of ...
A biomarker may be a molecule secreted by a tumor or a specific response of the body to the presence of cancer. Genetic, [1] epigenetic, [2] proteomic, [3] glycomic, [4] and imaging biomarkers can be used for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and epidemiology. Ideally, such biomarkers can be assayed in non-invasively collected biofluids like blood ...
The lifetime risk of a female developing breast and/or ovarian cancer increases if she inherits a harmful mutation of BRCA1 or BRCA2, but the severity depends on the type of mutation. [8] Each year, about 3% of breast cancers and 10% of ovarian cancers result from inherited mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. [9]
The dun gene is a dilution gene that affects both red and black pigments in the coat color of a horse. The dun gene lightens most of the body while leaving the mane, tail, legs, and primitive markings the shade of the undiluted base coat color. A dun horse always has a dark dorsal stripe down the middle of its back, usually has a darker face ...
The CEA blood test is not reliable for diagnosing cancer or as a screening test for early detection of cancer. [8] Most types of cancer do not result in a high CEA level. [9] Serum from individuals with colorectal carcinoma often has higher levels of CEA than healthy individuals (above approximately 2.5ng/mL). [10]
The objective of this study was to compare different tumor markers and their diagnostic value. The tumor markers tested in this experiment were CA 19-9, CA 242 and CEA tumor markers. The data revealed that although each marker have its own level of specificity and correspond to a cancer, all three makers together increase diagnostic value. [7]
