What is a CA15.3 - Breast Cancer marker Test in Coimbatore ?
What is CA15.3 - Breast Cancer marker?
CA15-3 measures a protein (commonly called MUC1) that can be released into the blood by breast cancer cells. The level helps doctors understand tumor activity. Physical examination provides clues; a test result removes ambiguity and allows targeted, evidence-based management to begin promptly.
What does CA15.3 - Breast Cancer marker measure?
It is most useful for monitoring people already diagnosed with breast cancer. Doctors use CA15-3 to follow response to treatment and to watch for recurrence. It is not reliable alone for screening or diagnosis. Non-cancer conditions, including benign breast disease and liver problems, can raise CA15-3.
What symptoms suggest CA15.3 - Breast Cancer marker may be needed?

What do CA15.3 - Breast Cancer marker results mean?
Your result is read against the reference range printed on your GetVisit report for your age and sex, and always alongside your symptoms and history.

How often should CA15.3 - Breast Cancer marker be repeated?
For screening in higher-risk individuals: at the interval recommended for that specific cancer. For patients under treatment or in remission: on the schedule set by the oncologist, often every few months, to track the marker's trend rather than any single value.
