Tumors markers can be described as molecular products expressed by neoplasia tissues (immunohistochemistry), or metabolized and secreted by tumor and characterized biochemically in body fluids such as blood and urine. They may have utility as indicators of tumor stage and grade as well useful for monitoring responses to treatment and predicting recurrence, progression, development of metastases, or even patient survival. Unfortunately, in some cases they may have no identified clinical potential.Several investigations have been carried out, especially in the last decade, using biotechnological methods, in order to identify new potential tumor markers. By translating these findings into clinical use one may facilitate accurate diagnosis and prognostic prediction, and contribute to individualized treatment.The objective of this review is to describe some biomarkers with potential use in clinical settings of uterine cervix, ovary, and endometrium carcinomas.
