Lung cancer is one of the leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide. Apart from causing structural and morphological changes in the lung tissues, these tumours impact the respiratory functioning and quality of life as well. The diagnosis or initial assessment may involve a Tumor Marker Test along with other diagnostic tests.. Cancer markers or tumour markers are proteins produced by the normal cells as well as cancer cells, but are produced in higher levels by the cancer cells. Lung Marker Profile consists of tests to measure the levels of tumour markers in the blood. This profile test may be useful in the screening of lung cancers and decide the treatment prognosis. Diagnosis or treatment often depend on the type of cancer and the stage.
