This is directed to all hgh users: do you run tumor markers when doing blood work and what kind of markers are you running?
I got some examples from Wiki:
Examples[edit]
Tumor marker Associated tumor types
Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) germ cell tumor, hepatocellular carcinoma[6]
CA15-3 breast cancer[7]
CA27-29 breast cancer[8]
CA19-9 Mainly pancreatic cancer, but also colorectal cancer and other types of gastrointestinal cancer.[9]
CA-125 Mainly ovarian cancer,[10] but may also be elevated in for example endometrial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer and gastrointestinal cancer.[11] May also increase in endometriosis.[12]
Calcitonin medullary thyroid carcinoma
