CEA (carcion-embryonic antigen) , one such marker, is released in normal amounts by glandular tissue but in increased amounts by tumor cells. Increases production of milk-fat globule protein, CA15-3 , another marker , is more sensitive test for breast cancer. A test similar to CA 15-3 is BR 27.29.

hello Mr.Micawber
well, this is not a reading selection, i’m a translator. it has been decided for me to translate this book & as you know medical books are difficult to be translated since there is no agreed upon terms.
thank you anyway.
hi
How come you think there are no agreed on terms? I would say that Medical English has a lot of agreed terminology.
What do you use for cross reference? Do you have a medical dictionary?
marker, glandular tissue and tumor are words that have agreed, set meanings.
hi to u too,
you have got me wrong. I am translating from English into Arabic, & when I have said there is no agreed on terms I meant that for such cases, medical in here, we use the English term. we dont have an Arabic equivalent for these terms which make the translation into Arabic a bit difficult.
.
Well, I’m afraid that I cannot say very much about your medical terminology, but I can fix the grammar & punctuation a bit:
CEA (carcinoma-embryonic antigen), one such marker, is released in normal amounts by glandular tissue but in increased amounts by tumor cells. Increased production of milk-fat globule protein CA15-3, another marker , is a more sensitive test for breast cancer. A test similar to CA 15-3 is BR 27.29.
Blood cholesterol and lipid metabolism measurements are also useful in monitoring general health.

thank you Mister Micawber for correcting grammar & punctuation. you know when someone is writing in a hurry
