肿瘤标志物是衡量癌症生物学特征的指标。通过揭示肿瘤的重要生物学方面，肿瘤标志物可用于患者分期，预测癌症结局和指导治疗。使用肿瘤标记物的心理后果几乎是未知的。在这篇综述文章中，我们借鉴了涉及癌症风险信息、筛查、预后信息和监测的心理影响的临床研究。这些研究可能有助于考虑在临床实践中可能对肿瘤标志物信息的心理反应。版权所有（C）2001约翰威利父子有限公司
Tumor markers are measures of biological features of a cancer. By revealing important biological aspects of the tumor, tumor markers can be useful in staging patients, predicting cancer outcomes, and guiding treatments. The psychological consequences of using tumor markers are virtually unknown. In this review article, we draw on clinical studies involving the psychological impact of risk information, screening, prognostic information and surveillance of cancer. Such studies may be helpful in considering possible psychological reactions to tumor marker information in clinical practice. Copyright (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
