CA15.3 near me in Pune









Available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Pune, the CA15.3 test measures the level of glycoprotein called Cancer Antigen 15.3 (CA 15.3) in the blood. CA 15.3 glycoprotein is produced by the normal breast cells but its increased level can indicate the presence of a certain type of cancer, particularly breast cancer. This test is not intended to be used as a screening test because, at the initial stage of cancer, the CA15.3 level does not rise significantly. However, it is recommended for individuals who have been diagnosed with breast cancer (advanced stages). It can also be done to monitor cancer progression and treatment response.
No special preparation is needed for this test. However, it is important to provide a brief clinical history/ doctor's prescription at the time of sample collection.








What does CA15.3 measure?
The CA15.3 test measures the amount of Cancer Antigen 15.3 in your blood. It is a protein that is often elevated in the blood of individuals with breast cancer. Therefore, CA15.3 is an important tool in monitoring the progress of breast cancer treatment and checking for recurrence.
To make a precise diagnosis, healthcare advisors recommend the CA15.3 test results in conjunction with other blood tests and diagnostic imaging tests. Individuals undergoing the CA15.3 test should discuss the results with their healthcare provider to gain a comprehensive understanding of their cancer status and make informed decisions about their treatment plan.
