Did your tumor markers change after breast cancer surgery?

Posted by jegarry29 @jegarry29, Mar 19, 2022

Stage 1, invasive. After double mastectomy, a week and a half ago , marker only dropped a point from 52 to 51. PET and CT were negative. How has everyone’s markers changed immediately after surgery? Oncologist said could be elevated due to inflammation. I am also seeing it is not recommended for stage 1.

What is CHT? My 27 29 was 2541 when recently just diagnosed with reoccurrence after 10 years. I discovered a lump in my collar bone area. Went down to 1431 after 1st chemo of THP Taxotere, Herceptin & Perjeta.

Hi @jegarry29, welcome. You may be interested in this related discussion:

@mssewest, I believe CHT stands for combined (estrogen-progestogen) hormone therapy. Is that what you are referring to Jegarry?

I heard a patient with breast carcinoma went on treatment with RNA microvesicles loaded with anti-cancer gene p53 and GSDME mRNA. Levels of CA27,29 was dropped from over 300 to 60 or so after 4 month treatment.
