The purpose of this book-the fourth volume of a series on Can cer
Markers-is intended to provide an updated "status report" on
today's use of cancer markers in the diagnosis and monitoring of
can cer, with an emphasis on cancer markers detected in the serum.
It has been 7 years since the publication of the last volume in
this series. The 1980, 1982, and 1985 volumes covered the
development of cancer markers, not only in their roles of
unraveling the basic biology of can cer, but also as increasingly
important players in the management of patients with cancer. During
the last 7 years we have seen the applica tion of a number of
markers identified by monoclonal antibodies, as well as the
beginnings of the use of genetic markers defined by mo lecular
probes. Measurements of oncogenes in tissues or cells prom ise many
applications for the future, but as yet, these genes have not shown
to be useful as serum markers of cancer. The commercial interest in
serum markers for cancer, particu larly for the diagnosis and
monitoring of tumor patients, is indicated in Chapter 24 by Owen,
where the total worldwide market for cancer markers is projected to
increase from $148 million in 1988 to $232 million in 1993. The
degree of research interest in cancer markers is reflected in the
fact that in 1988 a separate category for tumor mark ers was added
to Index Medicus.
