Does anyone know a good site with cancer tumor marker information? - starstruck

Posted: Mar 26, 2010

I am starting to type quite a few cancer reports, and there are so many tumor markers for the various types of cancer. I probably should invest in a new Stedman's Oncology but don't have the extra $$ right now. Does anyone know a site that might help me figure these out? On web sites i've found, there doesn't seem to be much consistency in putting in hyphens (like CA25, CA 125, CA-125, etc.).

Here are a couple - sm

Thank you both for your suggestions. These are really good. I had been going to the Mayo Clinic and the nih.gov sites, but since they weren't exclusively about cancer it took so long to sift through their information. These will really help.

Glad to help. I have a few more and I will E you . - Txczech

These sites really have been such a lifesaver--I've already used them today. Any time that I dno't have to spend flailing around the Net is good!

Thanks for sharing those! nm - ColtsFan

Dictated "CEA was elevated at 29, CA 15.3 at 1938, and CA 27.29 was elevated at the outset at 2243." My questions are regarding the CA 15.3 of "1938" and the CA 27.29 of "2243." Should they be "19.38" and "22.43" or "1938" and "2243"? When I'm googling the reference ranges for CA 15.3, a value of 19.38 doesn't seem to be elevated; neither does a value of 22.43 for CA 27.29. But.. 1938 and 2243 seem awfully high. Can someone please help me with this? Thanks!!! ...

I am needing a good site to search for docs for particular states. I've been using NPI, but the doc I am trying to find is not coming up. He/she has an unusual name and it is being dictated by another doc who is struggling to pronounce it. The doc I am needing to do a search on right now is in Missouri. I don't know the clinic. I only know that the patient is to follow with him/her for diabetes. ...

Please be aware that communicating with anyone privately via the email address you utilized to set up this account permits a straight path to your computer. The folks you would LEAST want to know who posted whatever you might have posted are VERY slick at coming off completely innocently when asking you to "please send this to me if you are not comfortable posting it to the board."

In a cancer report, the doctor gave a diagnosis of Stage IIIC T4aN2M0 cancer. Then she later said, He was staged as a pathological T4aN2a. She added the a and dropped the M0. I listened very carefully for the diagnosis and later in the problem list. She does not add the a after the N2 in either place. Does anyone know why it is N2a in one place but just N2 in the DX? ...

Had a report with 4 QA markers -- anything over 2 markers has to be sent to QA. Once again, they couldn't hear it either and sent it with 4 markers. It probably sent me over the 5% submission rate, and I will get docked for it. Why can't QA get docked 1.5 cpl and me 1.5 cpl since NEITHER ONE OF US COULD HEAR IT????? ...
