Understanding Tumour Markers

Tumour markers should be interpreted carefully and in context. Elevated levels don't always mean cancer, and normal levels don't rule it out. Our GPs can help you understand your results and advise on next steps.

  • CA-125: Ovarian cancer marker
  • CEA: Bowel and other cancers
  • AFP: Liver and testicular cancers
