Question
The CA199 index continues to rise, and related checks have not yet revealed any clear disease. What treatment suggestions do you have?
Answer
CA199 is a carbohydrate antigen, whose elevated index is usually associated with tumor diseases. It is recommended for patients to undergo color Doppler ultrasound examinations of the breasts and uterine appendages, as well as further colonoscopy, to rule out potential lesions. In addition, patients should also pay attention to daily care, maintain healthy dietary habits, and consume enough calcium to reduce the chance of disease occurrence. For patients diagnosed with osteosarcoma, daily care is also crucial in addition to symptomatic treatment.
