摘要
Cytokeratins belong to the intermediate filament protein family which is a component of the cytoskeleton of epithelial cells. The most abundant cytokeratins present in epithelial tumors are cytokeratins 8,18, and 19. TPA, TPS, and CYFRA 21-1, based on fragments of these cytokeratins, are the three cytokeratin markers in clinical use today. They are mainly used for treatment monitoring in cancer patients, but also for diagnosis (in lung carcinoma) and for prognosis in several types of cancers, especially in breast cancer.
