Prognostic Significance of Circulating Tumor Cells and Serum CA15-3 in Metastatic Breast Cancer
Breast cancer (BC) is the second leading cancer causing death in women (Siegel et al., 2012). Despite the widespread use of the screening methods, 5% of the cases were diagnosed at the advanced stage. Spread of the BC cells native of the primary location through circulation is one cause leading to metastasis (Jacob et al., 2007; Fehm et al., 2008). Presence of the circulating tumor cells (CTC) ...
متن کاملElevated Levels of Serum Tumor Markers CEA and CA15-3 Are Prognostic Parameters for Different Molecular Subtypes of Breast Cancer
BACKGROUND & AIMS The utility of measuring carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) and cancer antigen 15-3 (CA15-3) levels in patients with breast cancer remains controversial. The present study aims to investigate the prognostic value of preoperative serum CEA and CA15-3 levels in breast cancer patients. METHODS Serum preoperative CEA and CA 15-3 concentration levels were measured in a total of 432 br...
متن کاملClinical Value of Serum S100A8/A9 and CA15-3 in the Diagnosis of Breast Cancer
Background and Objective: S100A8/A9 is a heterodimer calcium-binding protein which is involved in tumor cell proliferation, adhesion and invasion, and is proposed as a biomarker for better diagnosis and prognosis in many cancers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the simultaneous serum-based level of S100A8/A9 and CA15-3 as well-illustrated cancer biomarkers, as well as the...
متن کاملCirculating miRNAs as surrogate markers for circulating tumor cells and prognostic markers in metastatic breast cancer.
PURPOSE The use of circulating tumor cells (CTC) as a prognostic marker in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) has been well established. However, their efficacy and accuracy are still under scrutiny mainly because of methods of their enrichment and identification. We hypothesized that circulating miRNAs can predict the CTC status of patients with MBC, and tested for the same. Furthermore, we aimed ...
متن کاملThe prognostic significance of LIAISON(R) CA15-3 assay in primary breast cancer.
AIM To investigate the prognostic significance of cancer antigen 15-3 (CA15-3) in primary breast cancer (BC). PATIENTS AND METHODS This prospective study included 368 women: 62 patients with benign breast disease (BBD), 159 patients with invasive BC and 88 healthy blood donors (control). The median follow-up was 76 months (range, 43-99 months). Serum CA15-3 was measured with LIAISON® CA15-3® ...
