Detailed explanation-1: -Immunohistochemistry is another tool that doctors use to diagnose diseases such as cancer, and can help them to differentiate different types of cancer. This method uses antibodies to check for specific tumor markers in a tissue sample. For SCLC and carcinoid tumors, these markers are synaptophysin and chromogranin.
Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA), and pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (proGRP) can be used as tumor markers for lung cancer.
Detailed explanation-3: -Clinical application of tumor markers can be broadly classified into 4 groups: Screening and early detection, diagnostic confirmation, prognosis and prediction of therapeutic response and monitoring disease and recurrence.
Detailed explanation-4: -estimate prognosis. determine the stage of cancer. detect cancer that remains after treatment (residual disease) or that has returned after treatment. assess how well a treatment is working. monitor whether the treatment has stopped working. 11-May-2021
