state 10 characteristics of ideal tumor markers
Added by Eric Y.
Step 1
Tumor markers are substances, often proteins, produced by cancer cells or by the body in response to cancer. They are used in oncology to help detect, diagnose, and manage some types of cancer. Show more…

Characterize the differences between tumor cells and normal cells in terms of the following properties. In cancer cells, how might each of these properties contribute to tumor progression? a. contact inhibition b. autocrine stimulation c. apoptosis d. telomerase expression e. senescence due to telomere shortening f. genomic stability g. angiogenesis h. metastasis i. susceptibility to immune surveillance
The best strategy for treating a specific type of human tumor can depend on identifying the type of cell that became cancerous to give rise to the tumor. For some tumors that have metastasized (moved) to colonize a distant location, identifying the parental cell type can be difficult. Because the type of IF protein expressed is cell-type specific, using monoclonal antibodies that react with only one type of IF protein can help in this identification. Monoclonal antibodies against what IF proteins would you use to identify a) a sarcoma of muscle cell origin, b) an epithelial cell carcinoma, and $c$ ) an astrocytoma?
