ABSTRACT
In 2017, the tumor marker program of the Korean Association of External Quality Assessment Service was performed for tumor markers I and II. Tumor marker I comprised alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen, protein induced by vitamin K absence-II, and prostate specific antigen (PSA), and tumor marker II comprised cancer antigen (CA) 125, CA 19-9, CA 15-3, CA 72-4, and beta-2-microglobulin. Two challenges were conducted with three pooled serum or control materials, except for the first tumor marker I challenge. In total, 648 institutions participated in tumor marker I and 380 in tumor marker II programs. The response rates were 92.9%–97.0%. The coefficients of variation (CVs) were different depending on tests and samples, and average CVs were 3.7%–16.8%. The average CV of CA 72-4 tests, whose number of participants was the smallest, was the lowest. The average CV of AFP tests, which included a sample with very high levels, was the highest.
