Abstract Objectives We examined analytical characteristics of new CA 15-3, CA 19-9, CA 125 II, Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA), and Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) assays on the Dimension Vista® System. Design and methods Imprecision studies used CLSI-EP5-A2, Limit of Blank and Limit of Detection used CLSI-EP17 and measurement ranges were determined. Method comparisons were evaluated with Passing-Bablok, least-squares regression and residual plots. Reference intervals were determined and valid specimen types, lot-to-lot variability and sample storage stability were defined. Clinical monitoring patterns for each tumor marker in patients were examined. Results Reproducibility for each method was 9 months. Clinical monitoring patterns correlated with established methods in > 89% of cases. Conclusions Measurement of CA 15-3, CA 19-9, CA 125 II, CEA and AFP on the Dimension Vista® System is an attractive alternative.
