Abstract
Several tumor markers have been assayed in serum of patients suffering from breast diseases in order to improve the early detection of cancer, to contribute to its diagnosis, to evaluate the local and metastatic extension of the neoplasia, to monitor the follow-up of previously diagnosed cancer and to provide useful prognosis information. In this article, the potential interest of some tumor markers will be stressed as the limits of some others.
