Brief Answer:
Repeat bilateral mammography test
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The normal range of CA 27-29 which is a breast tumor marker is less than 38 U/ml. Your Ca 27.29 in January 2018 is 41.6 which is high.
Therefore, I would advise you to repeat a bilateral mammography test and a blood test for Ca 27.29.
If any space occupying lesion is found in the mammogram then a biopsy has to be done to rule out malignancy.
Hope I have answered your query.
