$249 CA 27-29 Testing
What is the CA 27-29 test?
CA stands for "Cancer Antigen". This test is usually performed before, during and after treatment for some forms of breast cancer. Cancer antigen 27-29 is a product of breast cells and is produced by a gene. The overproduction of CA 27-29 may be a symptom of breast cancer.
Will this test tell me if I have breast cancer?
No. This test is usually used as a barometer for individuals already diagnosed with certain types of breast cancer. Elevated CA 27-29 levels can be do to a variety of factors and should be interpreted by your physician. Some factors that may raise levels are(but not limited to):
- colorectal cancer
- lung cancer
- cirrhosis
- hepatitis
- benign breast disease
Low CA 27-29 levels do not mean a person does not have cancer either. It is estimated that 25%-30% of breast tumors do not shed CA 27-29.
How is this test performed?
The cancer antigen 27-29 test is performed using a blood sample usually taken from a vein in your arm. You do not need to fast before taking this test.
No appointment needed. Walk-ins welcome.
