Abstract

Carbohydrate Antigen (CA 15-3) is a carbohydrate called mucin containing protein antigen. The pregnancy hormone of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a complex glycoprotein, the glycoprotein-type α-subunit and the β-subunit. This biochemical marker may be elevated in patients with breast cancer. For programmed cell death, caspases are cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteases. To study the relationship between CA 15-3, β-HCG, caspase-3, serum IgG, IgM, ferritin and alkaline phosphatase in patients with various stages of breast cancer.
