The mean fine-needle aspiration (FNA) concentrations of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and the breast cancer antigen CA-15-3 in metastatic axillary lymph nodes (ALNs) were higher (both P = .02) than those in nonmetastatic ALNs, and the sensitivity of FNA cytology combined with FNA concentrations of CA-15-3 and CEA was higher (P = .01) than that of FNA cytology alone.
