2017年5月31日 · Welcome to Connect. I'm tagging a few other members who may also have experience with fluctuating CEA levels. Please meet @travelgirl @martid @ilene1 @soul @brglight @nannytart @bush @sallyg @starrlight and @joannem. As you probably already have researched, increasingly CEA levels can mean many things.

2023年7月12日 · My CEA was < 2.0 in March 2023 prior to my colon surgery in April. I had a cancerous polyp discovered during my colonoscopy in February. My understanding is that the CEA blood test gave the surgeon an idea if the cancerous antigens had entered my blood stream through the blood vessels in the wall of the colon and had traveled to other organs.

2021年7月18日 · I recently had a blood test for a life insurance company to see if I would qualify for coverage. I also had routine colonoscopies when I turned 50(completely clear) and 60( removed benign polups. I am 62. My CEA number from the recent blood test showed my CEA to be 4.9(which the company puts an average range of 0.2.5 or up to 3.0.

2017年5月31日 · Having abnormal lab results can be scary. High CEA levels can be caused by other non-cancer conditions, such as These can include: - infection - cirrhosis or other liver condition - chronic smoking - inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or other gastrointestinal condition - non-cancerous breast disease

2023年9月25日 · Given the huge number of possible cancer markers (CA19-9 being just one of many), it doesn't make sense for every person to get every test at every physical. CEA might be one exception that is common to more cancers. It's not a sole diagnostic marker for or against any cancer, but might have more bang for the buck than others.

2022年8月20日 · My mother was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer on January 20 of this year. Her CEA level was normal (2.6; her hospital has a normal range between 0.0 and 3.8). She had a complete mastectomy on March 3 and started 4 rounds of TC chemo on March 30. She was T1CN0 with no lymph node involvement. On March 16, her CEA went to 3.9.

2022年4月26日 · I was diagnosed with Colon cancer stage last year 12/23. My surgery was done on 01/11/22 since then I have been following with Blood test every three months. My CEA level after surgery was 0.9 03/01/22. Second CEA 1.2 06/01/22 Was done by Labcorp. Third CEA 1.0 09/01/2022 was done by Emory and the recent one was done at Labcorp 12/19 CEA ‘1.9’.

2022年9月26日 · Often, lab numbers can increase for reasons other than cancer. I have a rather rare form of cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, and there is a blood test that can be used (CgA) that is often elevated, but when follow up tests are done, it does not reflect any new cancer. Lab tests should not be taken as a sole indicator of cancer activity.

2024年12月10日 · They scale the graph's vertical axis to accommodate your highest reading. When my highest reading was 0.14, the graph had a range of 0 to approximately 0.15; after I got a higher reading (0.61), the graph had a range of 0 to 0.65

2024年2月2日 · Yes I have lots of Signatera info. After my resection my signatera test went from zeros to .03, .06, 1.1, 4.2
