[The place of tumor markers in breast and gynecologic neoplasms].

Abstract

The main tumor markers used in breast and gynaecological neoplasias are reviewed with their individual characteristics: carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), chorionic gonadotropin hormone (CGH), CA 125, CA 15.3 and Squamous Cell Carcinoma Antigen (SCC). Their indications are specified according to the following cancer locations: breast, trophoblast, ovary, endometrium and cervix. The major clinical applications of the tumor markers routinely used are emphasized.
