The CA 15-3 Test Kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of cancer antigen 15-3 in human serum or plasma. Supplied in a 100-test format, the kit is specified as compatible with the CLIA PV 1800 analyzer. CA 15-3 measurement is primarily used to monitor selected patients with breast cancer, particularly in advanced or metastatic settings, and may contribute to clinical assessment when considered alongside other findings.

Clinical Applications of the CA 15-3 Test Kit

CA 15-3 is a tumor marker used in the follow-up of selected patients with breast cancer. Changes in marker levels over time may provide additional information about disease trends or treatment response.

• Breast cancer monitoring: Supports follow-up in selected patients, particularly those with advanced or metastatic disease.

• Treatment-response assessment: Allows results to be compared over time as part of clinical evaluation.

• Tracking tumor marker levels: Provides quantitative data for monitoring changes in CA 15-3.

• Clinical laboratory testing: Intended for laboratories requiring quantitative CA 15-3 measurement in human samples.

Clinical note: An elevated CA 15-3 result does not, by itself, establish cancer progression or recurrence. Levels may also rise in some non-malignant conditions, including benign breast disorders and certain liver or ovarian conditions. Results should be interpreted alongside the patient's clinical status and other medical assessments. CA 15-3 testing alone is not suitable for general population screening or definitive diagnosis of breast cancer.

Important Considerations Before Purchasing

Before ordering, review the kit's technical specifications and confirm compatibility with the analyzer used in your laboratory. Important checks include:

• Reviewing the instructions for use (IFU), including calibration and quality-control requirements.

• Confirming storage conditions, expiration date, and reagent preparation procedures.

• Checking the manufacturer's stated measuring range, reporting units, and analytical performance.

• Verifying compatibility with the specific CLIA PV 1800 analyzer used by the laboratory.
