CA 15-3 ELISA Kit
Product CA 15-3 ELISA Kit
Catalog Number BQ 1015T
Quantity 96 Well Plate
Sample Type Serum
Description
The CA15-3 for the quantitative determination of the Cancer Antigen CA15-3 concentration in human serum. CA15-3 is most useful for monitoring patients post-operatively for recurrence, particularly metastatic diseases. 96% of patients with local and systemic recurrence have elevated CA15-3, which can be used to predict recurrence earlier than radiological and clinical criteria. A 25% increase in the serum CA15-3 is associated with progression of carcinoma. A 50% decrease in serum CA15-3 is associated with response to treatment. CA15-3 is more sensitive than CEA in early detection of breast cancer recurrence. In combination with CA125, CA15-3 has been shown to be useful in early detection of relapse of ovarian cancer. CA15-3 levels are also increased in colon, lung and hepatic tumors.
