Diagnostic and Prognostic Role of Preoperative Circulating CA 15-3, CA 125, and Beta-2 Microglobulin in Renal Cell Carcinoma
CA 15-3, CA 125 and β-2 microglobulin are three common tumor markers currently used for diagnosis, prognosis, assessment of therapeutic response, and/or to evaluate recurrence in breast and ovarian cancer and malignant lymphoproliferative disorders, respectively. In the present prospective study we assessed the role of these three serum proteins as biomarkers for renal cell carcinoma (RCC), as ...
متن کاملSerum levels and biochemical characteristics of cancer-associated antigen CA-549, a circulating breast cancer marker.
CA-549 is a circulating breast cancer-associated antigen that reacts with monoclonal antibody BC4E 549. Biochemical characterization of CA-549 revealed that it is an acidic (isoelectric point 5.2) glycoprotein that exhibits two bands by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions of apparent molecular weights of 400,000 and 512,000. Immunohistochemical st...

متن کاملRelationship between preoperative serum CA 15-3 and CEA levels and clinicopathological parameters in breast cancer.
BACKGROUND CEA and CA 15.3 serum tumor markers are currently used in clinical practice for monitoring therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate serum level of these markers among healthy females and invasive breast carcinoma (IBC) patients and to determine any relationships with clinicopathological factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS 60 Iranian females were enrolled in this study, 30 healthy ...
متن کاملDiagnostic Values of Carcinoembryonic Antigen, Cancer Antigen 15-3 and Cancer Antigen 125 Levels in Nipple Discharge.
An expedient and cost-effective diagnostic tool is needed to complement galactography and exfoliative cytology for detection of benign or malignant breast diseases with nipple discharge. The aim of this prospective study is to explore the utility of carcinoembryonic antigen, cancer antigen 15-3 and cancer antigen 125 levels in nipple discharge for the diagnosis of various breast diseases. We ev...
