Abstract
Serum tumour markers may be helpful in early diagnosis of cancer, in the initial assesment of the extent of the disease, and in monitoring of the tumour growth or tumour volume reduction, once cancer has been diagnosed and treatment started. Recent studies have focused on a new family of markers – hematopoietic cytokines.
