CA 15-3
Material: | 1 ml serum (Stability in serum at 4°C – 8°C: 5 days) 1 ml lithium-heparin plasma, EDTA-plasma |
Methods: | Ligandenassays → Chemilumineszenz Mikropartikel Immunoassay (CMIA) | Reference range | < 31 U/ml |
Indication | Therapy- and progress checks in case of mamma carcinoma (together with CEA) |
Comment | Please also refer to: “BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation analysis” |
Please note | In combination with CEA, CA 15-3 is the most efficient tumor marker for mamma carcinoma. Determination of MCA does not add any further value. Various benign illnesses lead to increased CA 15-3 levels: Myomastopathy, fibro adenoma, liver and pancreas diseases, renal insufficiency, bronchial diseases, also other carcinomas such as ovarial-, bronchial-, pancreas-, liver- and stomach carcinomas. |
