This is Cancer antigen 27-29,s the CA 27-29 blood test marker. an his antigen is a substance that stimulates your body’s immune system. Certain types of cancer cells send CA 27-29 antigen into the blood. These tests help give information about cancer that are called tumor markers.
This is a test that gives more data alongside other testing methods such as ultrasound or thermography.
Another test a provider may check for is another breast cancer tumor maker called 15-3.
This test is done with a simple blood sample at either your primary care or a phlebotomist office. They will use a needle to draw blood from either your arm or hand to collect this sample.
Important to know about results is:
If CA 27-29 is less than 38 U/mL, this may determine you do not have active breast cancer. If CA 27-29 is 38 U/mL or greater, you may have active breast cancer OR it came back/spread.
It could also mean that you have another condition, not breast cancer, that raises your CA 27-29.
Some conditions, not cancer related, can cause a false-positive CA 27-29. How to be prepared? No need for preparation, just make sure your provider is aware of any prescriptions or supplements you are taking.
