2022年4月11日 · A carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) test measures a specific blood glycoprotein called CEA. It means a protein with a lot of sugars added to it by normal or cancerous cells. Scientists first discovered CEA in 1968 when they isolated extracts of liver metastasized by colorectal cancer and also from normal fetal digestive tract.

2021年11月15日 · A CEA test measures the level of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in the blood or other body fluid. As a type of tumor marker, CEA is an indicator of whether cancer is growing and spreading or diminishing with treatment. It is also known as a CEA assay, CEA blood test and carcinoembryonic antigen test.

2024年12月11日 · Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a nonspecific serum biomarker that is elevated in many malignancies, including colorectal cancer, medullary thyroid cancer, breast cancer, and mucinous ovarian cancer.

2024年4月30日 · The Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) blood test is a diagnostic tool used to measure the level of CEA, a protein that can be elevated in certain types of cancer. This test is primarily associated with monitoring colorectal cancer but can also provide insights into other cancers and health conditions.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) describes a set of highly-related glycoproteins involved in cell adhesion. CEA is normally produced in gastrointestinal tissue during fetal development, but the production stops before birth. Consequently, CEA is usually present at very low levels in the blood of healthy adults (about 2–4 ng/mL). [2]

2019年7月12日 · CEA is a protein that is normally not detected in the blood of a healthy person. When certain types of cancer are present, CEA may be produced by the cancer cells. CEA may then be detected in blood, but it will not indicate which kind of cancer is present.

2022年8月17日 · One way they can do that is with a carcinoembryonic antigen test. It measures a protein called CEA in the blood. People with some types of cancers have higher than normal levels of this...

2020年4月1日 · What is a carcinoembryonic antigen test (CEA)? A carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) test is a blood test used to help diagnose and manage certain types of cancers. The CEA...

2022年10月29日 · Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a tumor marker found in the blood or in other bodily fluids that can be used to monitor treatment for certain cancers. This article explains what the CEA test is, when it can be helpful in cancer treatment, and how to interpret its results.

2021年3月6日 · Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a tumor marker measured in a blood test that is high in more than 90% cases of colon and pancreatic cancer. It also can be higher than normal in inflammatory bowel diseases and liver diseases.
