Not all cancers result in elevated tumor marker results, so a normal Male Tumor Pentathlon cannot rule out lung cancer.
The Male Tumor Panel usually refers to carcinoembryonic antigen, glycoantigen 125, glycoantigen 199, prostate-specific antigen, and alpha-fetoprotein. Not all cancers result in elevated penta-tests, and the diseases associated with each of the five tests vary.
Elevated carcinoembryonic antigen is usually associated with lung, stomach, and bowel cancers. Glycoantigen 125 is usually elevated in patients with adenocarcinoma as the main pathology. Glycoantigen 199 is elevated in pancreatic and gastrointestinal cancers. Elevated prostate-specific antigen is mainly associated with prostate cancer in men. Elevated alpha-fetoprotein is mostly related to liver cancer.
Some lung cancer patients may also have normal male tumor five, abnormal male tumor five can not be sure that they have a tumor, tumor markers can only assist in the diagnosis of tumors, and should be combined with medical history, physical examination, CT, pathological biopsy and other tests to confirm the diagnosis of tumors.
If lung cancer is suspected, it is recommended to go to regular hospitals in time to consult the doctor, improve the examination, make a clear diagnosis, and actively treat it.
