  Calcitonin  
     
  Calcitonin is a tumor marker elevated in cases of medullary thyroid carcinoma and C-cell hyperplasia and is used in the diagnosis of these conditions. Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a tumor of the CT-producing C-cells of the thyroid gland. Although a rare tumor, it can occur in a familial pattern as part of MEN (Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia) type II syndrome. These tumors usually produce diagnostically elevated serum concentrations of CT. Therefore, the immunoassay for CT in serum can be used to diagnose the presence of MTC with an exceptional degree of accuracy and specificity.

  S100  
     
  S-100 is a reliable tumor marker mainly in metastatic melanoma where it reflects the tumor load and prognosis. S-100 has also been described to be a valuable marker for monitoring and follow-up of melanoma patients. S-100 follows the course of the disease and has been shown to be an early indicator of relapse. It could therefore be a valuable adjunct to imaging and clinical assessment.  
     
  Another important clinical application for S-100 is as a marker for different forms of cerebral lesions. Clinical studies have demonstrated an immediate increase of S-100 in the circulation after a brain injury indicating a fast release of brain S-100 into the blood.  
     
  S-100B is a very sensitive marker for an injury of the brain caused by head trauma and is released at the time of the primary injury. The level in serum strongly correlates with the severity of the primary trauma and the outcome of the patient. In patients with global cerebral ischemia, it has been reported that a positive value in the serum 24 hours after ischemia is an independent predictor of not regaining consciousness. S-100 has also been shown to be a useful marker in stroke and birth asphyxia.
