There are different markers, each one indicates a different kind of cancer.
There markers on themselve can't diagnose cancer, which can't be done in the lab. We can only monitor the process of the tumor.
Some examples of there markers are CEA (Carcino-Embryonal Adenome), CA 19.9 (Cancer Antigen) and CA 15.3.
HCG (Human Choriongonadotrofin) can also be used to monitor certain kinds of tumors.
Hope this helps.
