This is WRONG, it is used as an indicator, NOT a diagnosis. In fact, I have personal experience that CA15-3 is not always in indicator of anything. You first measure a baseline, and use it for reference.
Also there's no HER2 expression in TNBC.
Can this be used for possible early detection? Maybe, but it will not be an exact science.
