Abstract
Early detection of cancer comprises early diagnosis in symptomatic and screening of
asymptomatic individuals. Our aim was to evaluate the significant values of carbohydrate antigen 15-3
(CA15-3) and/or Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in women with breast cancer.
Design and setting: This case control study was conducted in Khartoum Teaching Hospital, Khartoum,
Sudan.
Application of such measurement may be helpful within screening and early detection efforts in such a
country like Sudan with poor resources.
