NSE (neuron-specific enolase) is a tumor marker that is used to measure the stage and/or patient's response to treatment of small cell cancer and neuroblastoma. PSA (prostate-specific antigen) and CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) are used to monitor prostate and colon cancer, respectively. TA-90 is not a known tumor marker.
