Epithelial Tumor Markers: Special Markers of Glandular Differentiation

  • Chapter
Morphological Tumor Markers

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Pathology ((CT PATHOLOGY,volume 77))

Abstract

There are principally two types of epithelial tumor markers: (1) Normal cell products with known functional properties which may appear in increased or reduced amounts during malignant development; and (2) So-called oncodevelopmental antigens. The latter markers are mainly expressed in fetal life but may appear in increased amounts in neoplastic lesions. Examples of such antigens are alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). In the present chapter, however, only the former category of tumor markers will be included and the discussion will be limited to salivary glands, breast and large bowel mucosa.
