Hello,

Please tell me what is marker test and is it helpful in the case of metastatic breast cancer ? What others tests can be performed other than PET scan to check the recovery ?

CA 15-3 is one such marker

Not considered standard and not acceptable by many oncologists

Clinical Evaluation and Imaging studies remain the Gold Standard
