Cancer antigen 15.3 (CA 15.3) is a protein that is produced by normal breast cells. There is an increased production of CA 15-3 in persons with cancerous breast tumors however CA 15.3 test is not specific for breast cancer because levels are also increased in patients with gastric, colorectal, lung, pancreas, ovarian, uterine, and cervical cancers. CA 15.3 does not cause cancer.
CA- 15.3 test is done to help determine cancer characteristics to monitor the response to treatment of invasive breast cancer and to watch for the recurrence of the disease.
