What it is

Tumor marker context refers to a family of tests rather than one universal cancer marker.[1,2]

Why it matters

Different markers can be used for different purposes, including screening in limited settings, diagnosis context, treatment monitoring, or recurrence follow-up.[1,2]

What it affects

  • This node prevents BioConst from treating cancer markers as one simple parameter.[1,2]
  • It links organ-specific markers, imaging, pathology, and follow-up context.[1,2]

Interpretation traps

  • Many tumor markers are not screening tests and can have non-cancer explanations.[1,2]
  • BioConst does not interpret tumor markers or advise cancer screening.[1,2]
