These markers help personalize treatment<\/strong> and choose the most effective therapy.<\/p>\nWhen are brain tumor marker tests prescribed?<\/h2>\n\n- \n
If there is clinical symptoms<\/strong> (headache, vision changes, seizures) without an obvious cause<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
At suspected metastases<\/strong> into the brain from another primary focus<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
In patients with increased intracranial pressure<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
After surgical removal of the tumor - for relapse monitoring<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
In progress monitoring the effectiveness of chemotherapy or radiation therapy<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWhat limits diagnostics to markers alone?<\/h2>\n\n- \n
Low specificity<\/strong> \u2014 many markers are elevated in non-oncological conditions<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Lack of a universal marker<\/strong> \u2014 combination required<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Does not replace MRI\/CT<\/strong>, but only complements the clinical picture<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Molecular tissue diagnostics<\/strong> available only after biopsy<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWhat other tests might be appropriate?<\/h2>\n\n- \n
UAC, SRB<\/strong> \u2013 assessment of general condition<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Spinal puncture<\/strong> \u2013 for CSF examination in case of suspected meningeal metastases<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Genetic analysis of tumor tissue<\/strong> \u2013 after removal or biopsy<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nTumor markers are not the answer, but hint<\/strong>, where to look next. It is the comprehensive approach \u2014 laboratory + visualization + clinic \u2014 that allows you to accurately assess the situation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00abMRI is not always the first.\u00bb Why laboratory diagnostics are important in neuro-oncology Most patients associate brain tumors exclusively with magnetic resonance imaging.
