Carolyn, with respect to your question, I suspect the reason for taking tumor markers in studies that concern early breast cancer is to use that information to come up with guidelines. If these studies should determine that tumor markers hold a clue to future BC activity this information will find itself incorporated into national guidelines, but I don't believe we can infer from the taking of tumor markers in studies that it's a recommendation for the general population. What finally made me relax about my elevated markers was Dr. Pegram's statements about same, which were posted a few months ago in an earlier discussion.
