What Causes Elevated ACE Tumor Marker In Case Of Breast Cancer?

Hello, I am living in France, my ACE tumor marker started after py breast cancer 23 years ago at 1.4. It fluctuated between 1.4 and 2 during 10 years; Then it went slowly up in 13 years with small fluctuations and now it is 4.9. this means above the lab normal value which is 3. Will it continue to go up ? The doctors do not say much. Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hello dear. In my opinion ACE is not a tumor marker for breast disease. So you should not worry at all. More over breast cancer practically never appears after a gap of 23 years. Take care
