Always pay attention to physical examination indicators to prevent cancer

Although people's quality of life is higher now, they can eat meat and eggs every day. But even with such a high standard of living, many people still get sick, and now many people are suffering from cancer. When people hear the word cancer, their faces change drastically. Because the harm that cancer brings to people is quite great. Under what circumstances is it cancer? What are the indicators of cancer?

We are not very clear about the occurrence of cancer in the early stages and only notice it in the late stages. However, it can be detected in the early stages through instruments, which requires us to understand the indicators of cancer, because the indicators of different cancers are different. Below is a detailed introduction given by the experts.

First, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a marker for diagnosing primary liver cancer.

Second, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is the main marker of colon cancer.

The third is general markers: Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) is the preferred tumor marker for ovarian cancer and also serves as a reference for lung cancer.

Fourth, carbohydrate antigen 242 (CA242) is mainly used for auxiliary diagnosis of gastrointestinal malignant tumors and is also a reference for lung cancer.

Fifth, neuron-specific enolase (NSE) is a marker for small cell lung cancer and neuroblastoma, and is generally used to differentiate small cell tumors from non-small cell tumors.

Sixth, serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a broad-spectrum tumor marker and cannot be used as a specific marker for lung cancer, but it still has important significance in the identification of lung cancer.

Seven is the identification of cancer in patients with chronic hepatitis history using hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg).

Eight is squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC), which has low sensitivity and is used as an auxiliary diagnosis for lung cancer.

The ninth is acidic polypeptide (Cyfra21-1), which is currently the preferred tumor marker for squamous cell carcinoma and is meaningful for early diagnosis, efficacy monitoring, and prognosis judgment of non-small cell lung cancer.

Ten is tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA), which is a non-specific tumor marker and also a broad-spectrum tumor marker.

Eleventh, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a diagnostic marker for prostate cancer patients.

Twelve is prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), an auxiliary indicator for diagnosing prostate cancer, monitoring the efficacy of prostate cancer treatment, and postoperative recurrence and metastasis.

Thirteen are benign tumor markers including (CA199), (CA153), etc.

Everyone has some understanding of cancer indicators, and experts have given us corresponding introductions to different cancer indicators. Finally, experts remind us that if we find any abnormalities in our body, we should go to the hospital for examination in time, so that early detection and early treatment can be achieved. Even early cancer can be detected and treated early.
