I understand that for some people tumor markers are not accurate. There are many reasons the markers can be elevated; one reason is that the cancer cells are dying off at a rapid rate and this can cause the tumor markers to rise temporarily. There is also the possibility of infection.

In my case I use two tumor markers the CEA and CA27-29, both have been very accurate indicators for me. I always have scans to confirm. I have been getting markers every two weeks it seems since my diagnosis.
I am a firm believer that you need to run two tumor markers in order to capture the whole picture.
