A tumor marker is a substance produced, or induced, by cancer cells that can be detected in body fluids or tumor tissues. The identification of a single marker, or a combination of different tumor markers, can reveal the presence of a particular cancer, its stage, and provide a prognostic outlook following treatment or during an extended therapeutic course. Please view the slideshow video clip below that highlights some of our tumor marker antibodies for different cancers. The table lists specific GeneTex products for key tumor markers recognized by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH).
