Abstrakt: | Mammography is one of the gold standard screening tests for breast cancer. The effects of mammography procedure on blood parameters are not known. This study aimed to investigate whether the procedure-associated breast compression affects the widely and simultaneously performed blood measurements of C-reactive protein (CRP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and cancer antigen (CA) 15-3. According to breast ultrasound examination results, participants were divided into 3 groups as follows: group 1 (participants with breast mass size ≥20.0 mm, n=48); group 2 (participants with breast mass size <20.0 mm, n=17); and group 3 (participants with no breast mass, n=23). In groups 1 and 2, on the day of the mammographic imaging study, serum CRP, CEA, and CA 15-3 levels were measured before and after the imaging study. Participants in group 3 had their blood parameters measured without mammography and/or any breast compression. Post-mammography blood measurements displayed a significant increase in serum CRP levels, and a significant decrease in serum CEA and CA 15-3 levels in group 1 (in comparison with the same day pre-mammography blood sampling levels; p<0.05 all). Although pre-mammography serum CEA levels in group 1 participants were significantly higher than those in group 2 and 3 participants, this significant elevation became nonsignificant at post-mammography measurements (p<0.05 and p>0.05, respectively). On the day of the mammographic imaging study, the optimal time of blood sampling for testing CRP, CEA and CA 15-3 levels in persons with a breast mass is before, but not after the mammographic imaging procedure. This issue requires additional detailed studies. (Sestre Milosrdnice University Hospital.) |
