a chemical substance found in increased amounts in the body fluids of some cancer patients. The presence of a tumor marker in the blood for a specific cancer can be an indication that cancer is present in the body.

Tumor markers are also used to monitor the progress of treatment as well as possible recurrence of cancer after treatment.

Tumor markers are chemical substances that are produced by some cancers. Most of these substances can be found in the bloodstream in small amounts even when cancer is not present. When cancers produce these substances, they are usually produced in very large amounts. The amount of the substances may increase far above a normal level as the disease worsens.
