If your CA 15-3 results are highly elevated, additional tests should be done to diagnose breast cancer.
If the elevation is minimal, you may need a few time to watch-and-wait and order a repeat test 4-6 weeks later. The CA 15-3 elevations seen in non-cancerous conditions tend to be stable over time.
If elevation persists or increases, you may need additional testing, such as breast ultrasound, mammography, CT-scanner,etc.
