It also discusses analyzing blood, serum, urine and other body fluids for alterations, as well as using tumor markers like PSA, CEA, and CA antigens to help diagnose cancers like prostate, colorectal, and ovarian cancer. Finally, it mentions several analytical techniques like radioimmunoassay, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, cytogenetics, genetic testing, and radiography that can assist in cancer diagnosis.

Alteration in blood composition Elevated transaminases Lactate dehydrogenase Alkaline phosphatase Anemia, leukocytosis, leukopenia, thrombocytosis, may thrombocytopenia contribute to diagnostic decision. Tumor Markers Biomarkers/diagnostic markers Proteins, antigens, ectopic hormones, receptors, enzymes and genes Tumor derived, or tumor associated. Only protein specific antigen (PSA) for prostate cancer is specific enough. CEA carcinoembyonic antigen is good for colorectal CA cancer antigen may indicate ovarian
