Create a PowerPoint presentation in English about Tumour Markers with a modern dark theme (dark navy or charcoal background and light text). Keep it elegant and professional with minimal icons and clean sans-serif fonts. Include 9 slides: 1. Title - Tumour Markers (Definition and Importance) 2. Introduction - Definition and role in cancer diagnosis and monitoring. 3. Determination Types - Qualitative (histopathologic) and Quantitative (serum/fluids). 4. Ideal Characteristics - High specificity, sensitivity, and organ specificity. 5. Specific Tumour Markers (Part 1) - CEA, AFP, HCG. 6. Specific Tumour Markers (Part 2) - CA 19-9, CA 15-3, CA 27-29. 7. Additional Markers - LDH, NSE. 8. Therapeutic Aspects - Strategy and treatment selection. 9. Main Treatment Modalities - Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy, Surgery; conclusion emphasizing importance of tumour markers.
Explores tumour markers' definition, role in diagnosis/monitoring, types (qualitative/quantitative), ideal characteristics, key examples (CEA, AFP, CA19-9, etc.), additional markers (LDH, NSE), therap
This title slide is named "Tumour Markers: Definition and Importance." It displays "Tumour Markers" as the main text and "Definition and Importance in Oncology" as the subtitle.

Tumor markers are substances produced by cancer cells or the body in response to cancer. They enable early diagnosis of malignancies, monitor treatment effectiveness, and detect recurrence after therapy.

The slide "Determination Types" contrasts qualitative histopathologic analysis, which uses tissue biopsies to microscopically detect tumor marker presence for confirming tumor characteristics, with quantitative serum/fluid analysis, which measures marker concentrations via immunoassays to monitor disease progression and treatment response.
| Qualitative (Histopathologic) | Quantitative (Serum/Fluids) |
|---|---|
| Tissue-based analysis via biopsy. Examines cellular and tissue structures microscopically to detect tumor marker expression. Provides presence/absence information, essential for confirming tumor type and characteristics. | Measures tumor marker levels in blood, urine, or other fluids using sensitive immunoassays. Yields numerical concentrations for monitoring disease progression, treatment response, and early detection. |

The slide "Ideal Characteristics" lists key traits for effective tumor markers. These include high specificity (cancer-specific) and sensitivity (detecting most cases), organ specificity, early tumor production, and alignment with disease stage.
This slide, titled "Specific Tumour Markers (Part 1)," presents a table of three markers: CEA (colorectal cancer), AFP (liver and germ cell cancers), and HCG (germ cell and trophoblastic cancers). All are used for diagnosis and monitoring.
{ "headers": [ "Marker", "Associated Cancers", "Clinical Use" ], "rows": [ [ "CEA", "Colorectal", "Diagnosis & monitoring" ], [ "AFP", "Liver, Germ cell", "Diagnosis & monitoring" ], [ "HCG", "Germ cell, Trophoblastic", "Diagnosis & monitoring" ] ] }
This slide table on "Specific Tumour Markers (Part 2)" lists CA 19-9 for pancreatic and GI cancers, used in diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis. It also covers CA 15-3 and CA 27-29 for breast cancer, primarily to monitor therapy and recurrence.

The slide lists additional markers: LDH, elevated in lymphomas and germ cell tumors, and NSE, for neuroendocrine tumors and small cell lung cancer. Their utility includes prognosis assessment and treatment monitoring.
Therapeutic Aspects slide outlines how markers guide treatment strategy, target selection, and personalize therapy based on levels. It also assesses therapeutic response and efficacy while predicting outcomes and prognosis.
The slide outlines main cancer treatment modalities: chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery. It stresses that tumour markers are essential for precise diagnosis, monitoring progress, optimizing patient care, and improving survival rates.
