Question : my previous CA2729 level six months ago was 25.9 and today it is 34.1. 38 or less is the normal range. I have had breast cancer once in 1993 again in 2007 and again in 2012. Chemo twice and radiation once and proton therapy once. Should I be overly concerned?

Brief Answer:
Hello dear. You should be relaxed

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. No need to worry. Although ca 2729 can detect early relapse, but it is only suggestive and not surely diagnostic of relapse. Moreover, your level is within normal range.
Thanks and regards. Rest assured
