About the Test
Breast Cancer Monitoring Panel is a bundled panel available through The Walk-In Lab at Advanced Practice Wellness Clinic, bringing several related lab markers together in one visit.
The Breast Cancer Monitoring Panel can help your healthcare provider monitor breast cancer treatment and therapy. Both the CA 15‐3 and CA 27.29 are proteins that are normally produced by breast cells. In persons with breast cancer, the levels can increase. The protein amounts can rise with breast cancer tumor growth and fall with treatment. The carcinoembryonic antigen is a protein that may be present in people with cancer, including breast cancer. The CEA Test measures the amount of this protein in your blood. CEA is normally detected in healthy adults, but at a certain range (see below Normal Range). These three tests can also help your healthcare provider offer a more accurate prognosis (or prediction of your health).
