CA 15.3 Blood Test
This test is used with other tests like progesterone receptors, gene expression, and estrogen for checking breast cancer. If initially elevated, CA 15.3 is periodically prescribed for monitoring the effectiveness of the treatment rendered and watching recurrence.
What is the CA 15.3 test?
CA 15.3 is a type of protein that is generated by varied types of cells within your body. CA 15.3, which stands for Cancer Antigen 15.3, is mainly found in the system of breast cancer patients. This antigen flows through your bloodstream. To learn more about this protein, doctors collect blood samples from the patient’s body.
The levels of CA 15.3 show how much is the severity of your cancer. If the levels are too high, it shows that breast cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
CA 15.3 test is mainly performed to monitor the ongoing course of treatment for breast cancer patients. After completion of a few treatment sessions, it is mandatory for your doctor to know how well the provided medication and other courses are working on your body. As every case of cancer differs from the other, few treatment procedures may or may not show positive results in one’s body. This is because not every medication suits everyone’s body. Cancer treatment includes alternatives that can help to aim towards improving patient’s health.
The test is also prescribed to check the possibilities of cancer recurrence. However, it will be clubbed with other diagnostic mechanisms to confirm the recurrence of cancer.

Why CA 15.3 test advised?
CA 15.3 is the protein which forms the breast tissues. The CA 15.3 protein increases if you have a cancerous tumor in your breast. The cancerous tumor cells create the copies of CA 15.3 protein as they grow.
This test shows how big the tumor is by measuring the level of CA 15.3 proteins in the blood. The CA 15.3 test is also known as the breast cancer marker test.
Normally, the CA 15.3 test cannot be used to screen or diagnose breast cancer. But is helpful in the following ways;
- Examining the level of CA 15.3 – If you are diagnosed with breast cancer recently, your doctor may ask you to take the CA 15.3 breast cancer marker test at regular intervals. It is done to determine whether the protein level is increasing or remaining steady.
- Monitoring the ongoing treatment – You will be asked to take this test at different stages of your treatment for breast cancer. It is done to determine how well the cancerous cells are responding to the treatment by measuring the level of CA 15.3 protein. If the level of CA 15.3 protein increases, it shows that breast cancer is worsening.
