Clinical Background

Tumor and genetic markers may be useful in the diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and prognostication of specific tumors. Available markers include those in the following table (most are available at ARUP® Laboratories); for recommendations, see the Diagnosis tab. The information that follows is general in nature. For specific information regarding use and interpretation of various markers and tests, consultation with a pathologist is highly advised.
