BACKGROUND: Updated National Academy of ClinicalBiochemistry (NACB) Laboratory Medicine PracticeGuidelines for the use of tumor markers in the clinichave been developed.METHODS: Published reports relevant to use of tumormarkers for 5 cancer sites-testicular, prostate, colorectal,breast, and ovarian-were critically reviewed.RESULTS: For testicular cancer, alpha-fetoprotein, humanchorionic gonadotropin, and lactate dehydrogenaseare recommended for diagnosis/case finding, staging,prognosis determination, recurrence detection, and therapymonitoring. alpha-Fetoprotein is also recommended fordifferential diagnosis of nonseminomatous and seminomatousgerm cell tumors. Prostate-specific antigen(PSA) is not recommended for prostate cancer screening,but may be used for detecting disease recurrenceand monitoring therapy. Free PSA measurement dataare useful for distinguishing malignant from benignprostatic disease when total PSA is < 10 mu g/L. In colorectalcancer, carcinoembryonic antigen is recommended(with some caveats) for prognosis determination, postoperativesurveillance, and therapy monitoring in advanceddisease. Fecal occult blood testing may be used for screening asymptomatic adults 50 years or older. Forbreast cancer, estrogen and progesterone receptors aremandatory for predicting response to hormone therapy,human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 measurementis mandatory for predicting response to trastuzumab,and urokinase plasminogen activatorplasminogen activator inhibitor 1 may be used fordetermining prognosis in lymph node-negative patients.or carcinoembryonic antigenmay be used for therapy monitoring in advanced disease.CA125 is recommended (with transvaginal ultrasound)for early detection of ovarian cancer in womenat high risk for this disease. CA125 is also recommendedfor differential diagnosis of suspicious pelvicmasses in postmenopausal women, as well as for detectionof recurrence, monitoring of therapy, and determinationof prognosis in women with ovarian cancer.CONCLUSIONS: Implementation of these recommendationsshould encourage optimal use of tumor markers.
