Intended Use
- The CA 15-3 rapid test cassette (whole blood/serum/plasma) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of CA 15-3 in human’s whole blood, serum or plasma.
- CA15-3, for Carcinoma Antigen 15-3, is a tumor marker for many types of cancer, most notably breast cancer.1 It is derived from MUC1.2 CA15-3 and associated CA 27-29 are different epitopes on the same protein antigen product of the breast cancer-associated MUC1 gene. Elevated CA15-3, in conjunction with alkaline phosphatase (ALP), was found to be associated with an increased chance of early recurrence in breast cancer. Both CA15-3 and CA 27-29 may be elevated in patients with benign ovarian cysts, benign breast disease, and benign liver disease. Elevations may also be seen in cirrhosis, sarcoidosis and lupus. CA 15-3 is now being regarded as a reliable prognostic marker for breast cancer.
