CA 27.29 Test stands for Cancer Antigen 27.29. It is a screening test for women suffering from metastatic breast cancer or a very advanced blood cancer which has progressed to stage 4. It is most suitable for testing body's response to medication and therapy for women suffering from breast cancer. It is also useful to check how fast or slow the cancer is developing inside the body. A breast cancer patient is monitored using tumor markers such as cancer antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3), cancer antigen 27.29 (CA 27.29), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) when the cancer is in an advanced stage.

This test entails detecting extent of an antigen called CA 27.29 in your blood stream or body tissues. Antigens are also known as tumor markers.
This is done through a simple blood test. The blood test involves taking out blood from any of your veins.
A 38U/ml CA 27.29 indicates that you do not have an active breast cancer. Whereas, if the value is higher than 38U/ml then you have an active breast cancer or the tumors are spreading throughout the body. However it is important to note that, even though you test positive for the test, it won't necessarily mean that your breast cancer has relapsed or that you have breast cancer. It could also mean other types of cancer or non-cancerous growths in breasts. CA 27.29 can be higher in patients suffering from pancreatic or ovarian cancers.
