2022年4月11日 · A carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) test measures CEA, a specific blood protein. Usually, people are born with high CEA levels that decrease as they get older. But some types of cancer can increase this protein. Your healthcare provider may use a CEA test to guide cancer treatment or to see if treatment is working.

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.

2024年12月11日 · In healthy, nonsmoking adults, CEA is considered within normal limits at a level less than or equal to 3.0 µg/L. Adults who smoke may have elevated CEA, raising normal maximum limits to 5 µg/L. Pretreatment serum CEA levels greater than 5 µg/L but less than 10 µg/L suggest localized disease, a low likelihood of recurrence, and a favorable ...

2021年4月17日 · The CEA is measured in the blood and the normal range is <2.5 ng/ml in an adult non-smoker and <5.0 ng/ml in a smoker. The most common cancers that elevate CEA are in the colon and rectum but it can be elevated with gastric, ovarian and other cancers.

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 …

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a significant biomarker widely utilized in oncology. This glycoprotein plays a crucial role in cell adhesion and functions as a marker in various cancers. Recognizing CEA levels can provide invaluable insights in the diagnostic process and treatment management of cancer.

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.

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.

2021年3月6日 · Each laboratory must establish its own normal range for CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen) in a blood test. These ranges depend on the makeup of the local population, the technologies used and the accuracy of the measurement.

CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen) Pretreatment Lab Value records the CEA value prior to treatment. CEA is a nonspecific tumor marker that has prognostic significance for colon and rectum cancer.
