A member asked:
My ca 15-3 is 2.3 level higher and my ca 12-5 is 3.8 higher than the normal lvl. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why you did the test: My first question will be why did you have the tests done in the first place? Tumor markers like ca 15-3, ca 125- are not supposed to be done as a screening test. They are not reliable & very non specific/not sensitive. They are mainly done to certain cancer patients to follow up their response to therapy given for their cancers. It could be infection, inflammation, ca etc. D/w your md in detail.
