Professional analysis in an accredited laboratory ensures rapid result delivery.
Tests which include a CA 15-3 test:
What if CA 15-3 Results Are High?
Raised CA 15-3 can be associated with tumour activity, but it can also occur with benign (non-cancerous) conditions. CA 15-3 is therefore not specific on its own, and results are often interpreted in context, including patterns over time.
Changes in CA 15-3 are commonly reviewed alongside other information to clarify what the result may represent.
What if CA 15-3 Results Are Low?
A normal CA 15-3 level is usually reassuring.
CA 15-3 is interpreted alongside other investigations, rather than on its own.
Why Take The CA 15-3 Test?
This test is used mainly in monitoring known breast cancer rather than screening. It helps track treatment response or detect recurrence when used with clinical assessment. It should always be interpreted by a specialist.
