CA 15-3 (cancer antigen 15-3) is rarely raised when breast cancer is localised but is raised in about three-quarters of those in whom it has spread to other organs. CA 15-3 may also be raised in bowel cancer, lung cancer, cirrhosis, hepatitis and benign breast disease.

CA 19-9 (cancer antigen 19-9) is raised in most patients with advanced pancreatic cancer but may also be raised in bowel cancer, lung cancer, gall bladder cancer and such benign diseases as gall stones, pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis and liver disease.

CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) is not normally present in the bloodstream but may appear in many kinds of cancer. It is commonly measured in bowel cancer, but has been used to monitor patients with cancers of the lung, breast, liver, pancreas, stomach and ovary. It can also appear in benign conditions such as liver disease and inflammatory bowel disease.

Osteocalcin, the most abundant non-collagen protein in bone matrix, is a bone-specific, calcium binding protein. Serum osteocalcin levels are related to the rate of bone turnover in various disorders of bone metabolism, eg, osteoporosis.

Cancer types: Multiple myeloma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and some lymphomas
Beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (Beta-hCG)
Cancer types: Choriocarcinoma and germ cell tumors
Tissue analyzed: Urine or blood
How used: To assess stage, prognosis, and response to treatment
Circulating tumor cells of epithelial origin (CELLSEARCH®)
Cancer types: Metastatic breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers
