Accepted Answer
Rising cancer antigens, also called tumor markers, can understandably cause worry and often indicate increased cancer activity, though they need to be interpreted alongside other tests and clinical findings by your oncology team. This is definitely something to discuss thoroughly with your doctor, as they can explain what the specific numbers mean in the context of your individual situation and treatment plan.
