Tumor marker. A tumor marker is a biomarker found in blood, urine, or body tissues that can be elevated by the presence of one or more types of cancer. There are many different tumor markers, each indicative of a particular disease process, and they are used in oncology to help detect the presence of cancer. An elevated level of a tumor marker can indicate cancer; however, there can also be other causes of the elevation (false positive values). Tumor markers can be produced directly by the tumor or by non-tumor cells as a response to the presence of a tumor.

A defendant convicted of felony assault can receive a prison sentence or probation, as well as be fined. In New York, a prison sentence for felony assault is an âindeterminateâ term, meaning that a judge imposes a sentence with a minimum and maximum term (for instance, three to nine years). A judge has the ability to set a range within both the minimum and maximum terms.
