Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent types of cancer, ranking as the third most common malignancy and the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide.[1]A wide range of serum tumor biomarkers, including CA19-9, CA242, CA72-4, CA50, and CA125, has been studied in association with colorectal cancer (CRC).[2]CEA and CA19-9 are the two most common tumor markers for colorectal cancer that are currently utilized clinically.[3]CA50 and CA724 could supplement CEA in monitoring recurrence and metastasis.CA125 represents a significant and independent prognostic factor in CRC patients, superior to CEA.[2]

Simultaneous use of the two markers is useful in evaluating the therapeutic effect and monitoring the recurrence of advanced colorectal cancer. [3]

CA50 is a glycolipid antigen that plays an important role in cell growth and differentiation. Subgroup analyses indicated that CA50 was the only tumor biomarker that was significantly correlated with long-term survival in CEA-normal CRC patients.[2]
CA125 concentration seems to be a better tumor marker than CEA concentration for predicting PD in CRC in both men and women. This finding suggests that CA125 concentration should be measured as part of the pretreatment evaluation.[6]
Combined serum markers can be used to not only diagnose colorectal cancer, but also appraise the tumor status for guiding treatment, evaluation of curative effect, and prognosis of patients.[4]
