I am attaching here a link to an article about early breast cancer detection and three markers to look for. The tests are fairly new, probably not covered, but very important to know about. Hope you can see this link:

I Was looking around at my papers, and realized that these markers are on my pathology report, after or around the levels for estrogen positive. I recognized the funny pxi...number, and looked on the path report, and there it is! So a closer look at your pathology report may be beneficial to you and your oncologist when deciding on treatment.
Just having your path report is a good idea.
