Abstract
We have examined the predictive value of measurements of:ASA (Cancer A ssociated Serum Antigen) levels in patients with breast carcinoma. The measurement uses monoclonal antibodies that bind to an epitope on the polymorphic epithelial mucin. CASA levels were of less value compared with the levels of other tumor markers (CA 15-3, CA 549 and CEA) in t he management of patients with early breast cancer.
