Description

The CA 15.3 test is a blood test that measures the level of a protein called cancer antigen 15-3, primarily used to monitor the progression of breast cancer and assess treatment effectiveness. It is not used for initial screening or diagnosis because elevated levels can occur in both cancerous and non-cancerous conditions. The test helps doctors track if the cancer is responding to treatment or has returned after treatment.   What it is A blood test that measures the amount of CA 15-3, a glycoprotein associated with breast cancer.  It is considered a tumor marker, meaning it is produced by tumor cells and can enter the bloodstream.  How it's used Monitoring treatment: A decrease in CA 15-3 levels may indicate that the treatment is working.  Detecting recurrence: An increase in levels can signal that the cancer may have returned after treatment.  Assessing spread: Significantly elevated levels can sometimes suggest the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.  Important considerations Not a diagnostic tool: The test cannot be used to diagnose breast cancer on its own, as it is not specific to cancer.  Non-cancerous causes: Elevated levels can be caused by other conditions, such as liver disease, endometriosis, and other types of cancer.  Normal range: A "normal" level is typically below \(30\) U/mL, but this can vary by lab.  Follow-up is crucial: Doctors evaluate CA 15-3 results alongside other clinical information and tests to make an accurate assessment.  Welcome to Nidan Pathology Laboratory, your trusted partner in comprehensive healthcare services., we specialize in delivering accurate pathology blood tests and preventive health check packages.
