Description

What is Carcinoembryonic Antigen Test (CEA)?A CEA blood test measures the level of carcinoembryonic antigen, a protein that can be found in higher amounts with certain cancers, particularly colorectal cancer. It's not a cancer screening tool, but a diagnostic aid to monitor the effectiveness of cancer treatment and detect if cancer has returned (recurred). The test involves a simple blood draw, and results are reviewed by a doctor to guide patient care. What is CEA? CEA is a protein produced by fetal tissues, and its levels are very low or undetectable in healthy adults. Some cancer cells, especially those of the gastrointestinal tract, produce and release more CEA into the bloodstream. What is the CEA test used for? Monitoring Treatment Effectiveness: After a cancer diagnosis, the test can help determine if treatment is working by observing changes in CEA levels. Detecting Cancer Recurrence: For some cancers, like colorectal cancer, doctors may monitor CEA levels periodically after treatment to check if the cancer has come back. Cancers monitored with CEA testing: Colorectal cancer, Lung cancer, Breast cancer, Pancreatic cancer, Thyroid cancer, Prostate cancer, and Ovarian cancer. How is the test performed? A healthcare professional takes a blood sample from a vein in your arm. The sample is sent to a lab for analysis to measure the amount of CEA. Important Considerations Not a Screening Test: The CEA test is not recommended for healthy individuals to screen for or diagnose cancer. Other Conditions: High CEA levels can also occur in some non-cancerous conditions, such as liver disease, chronic inflammatory diseases, and in smokers. Consult a Doctor: Your doctor will interpret the test results in the context of your overall health and other diagnostic findings.
