This study was carried out to investigate the efficacy of tumor markers. Meth ods : Employing radioimmunoassay, CEA, AFP, CA19-9, PSA, CA125 were done in 31,389 patients(20,878 males, 10,511 females) who visited our medical screening center from Jan to Dec Re s ult s : T otal mean value of CEA is ng/ ml(male: , female: ). Male showed significantly higher level of CEA. Only 2 subjects had values over 25 ng/ ml, and one was diagnosed to have stomach cancer but the other did not. T otal mean value of AFP is ng/ ml (male: ng/ ml, female: ng/ ml). Female showed significantly higher level of measured AFP. One had AFP value over 400 ng/ ml and was diagnosed of hepatoma. T otal mean value of CA19-9 is ng/ ml,(male: ng/ ml, female: ng/ ml). Female showed significantly higher CA subjects (male: 31, female: 34) showed measured CA19-9 level over 37 ng/ ml. 5 subjects had values over 100 ng/ ml and 1 subject w as diagnosed of pancrease cancer. T otal mean value of PSA is ng/ ml. 90 subjects showed measured PSA level over 4 ng/ ml and mean value in this group w as ng/ ml. 54 subjects were older than age out of 90 subjects were diagnosed of prostate cancer. T otal mean value of CA125 is ng/ ml. 160 subjects showed measured CA125 level over 35 ng/ ml. 19 subjects had value over 100 ng/ ml and none of the malignancy was detected. Con c lu s ion : T umor markers are inappropriate measures for screening of malignancy. (Korean J Med 60: , 2001) Key W ords : T umor markers, Carcinoembryonic antigen, Alpha- fetoprotein , 108, ( )
