Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Many tumors or cancers might cause small amounts of chemicals circulating in blood due to the presence of cancer. These are known are serum tumor markers. Every cancer has a different set of tumor markers and many tupes of cancers might share the same tumor marker. This is present in blood and doing blood test specifically for these tumor markers gives and idea on the probability of cancer present in a suspected area.

In anal cancers evaluated serum CEA, TPA, CA19-9, SCC and CYFRA at diagnosis play a role. Among these usefulness of serum SCC and TPA at diagnosis of squamocellular anal cancer and of CEA in the diagnosis of cloacogenic tumors has been observed. Please discuss with your doctor and get evaluated for any of the tumor markers if required.
