CA 15-3

Measured in U/mL — women

A breast marker, used to follow treated disease rather than to find new disease. It appears here to complete the screening set your clinician reviews as a group.

What the numbers mean

These are the ranges BioForge works to. They are not the same as a lab's reference range, which is built from the general population rather than from people who feel well.

Low
<5 · Not meaningful
Optimal
<30 · Stability is what matters
High
>30 · Repeat and correlate

What moves CA 15-3

Rises with benign breast disease, liver disease, and some lung and ovarian conditions. The trend over time is the signal; a single number in isolation carries very little.
