ABSTRACT:
This disclosure relates to assay of a glycoprotein component of human breast gross cystic disease fluid which has been designated GCDFP-15. This material is a useful marker in monitoring the efficacy of therapy in women with metastatic breast carcinoma and also in determining the maturity of the fetus in pregnant women. The assay for GCDFP-15 can also be used in conjunction with other assays for breast carcinoma such as an assay for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) whereby the utilization of both tests is more effective in monitoring for recurrence of disease than using either assay alone.
