The cancer antigens that give me concern are CA 19-9 and 15-3. CA 125 has dropped to the normal range, but the other two have barely budged. Can anyone explain the relevance of these markers?
Denise,
My CA-125 was never high and I don’t have BRCA or Lynch.
I am most concerned about mismatch repair status proficient and micro satellite instability stable. There have been OS successes with immunotherapy for MMR deficient biomarkers and mine are the opposite. Even my doctors call my markers “bad” as there is really no treatment out there for me at this time.
Thank you for your interest.
