CA 27-29 numbers rising: Does anyone else have an issue like this?
Breast Cancer | Last Active: Aug 16, 2024 | Replies (176)Comment receiving replies
Hello everyone,
Recently I had a CA 27-29 test and want to know how to interpret my results. Is there a numerical range that is given to interpret the results? My value was 10.7. Can breast cancer survivors ever reach a score of 0?

@crane67, welcome. A normal range is less or equal to 38.6 units per millimeter (U/mL). Keep in mind that the CA 27.29 reference range can vary slightly from one lab to the next.

A single value is less important than how the results trend over time. Thus the test is generally used to monitor and notice whether there is a change in your values.
Crane, have you discussed the results of your test with your oncologist? What type of breast cancer do you have and what treatments are you having?
