What is the ca 15-3 test? what kind of cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast cancer: Ca 15-3 levels can be used to monitor the course of breast cancer. If a patient with breast cancer has elevated ca 15-3 levels the blood levels of the marker are a measure of the amount of tumor and can be followed to judge the response to treatment. It is not useful as a diagnostic test.
