Circulating tumor markers in breast cancer

Hematol Oncol Clin North Am. 1989 Dec;3(4):653-74.

Abstract

A list of tumor markers evaluated in breast cancer patients is included as well as their relative value for a patient with metastatic breast cancer. Variations in the levels of circulating markers correlated well with disease course; however, the accuracy of these variations is not total.
