What is a Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) Test in Visit Clinic?

What is Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA)?

Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) is a tumour marker test that measures the level of a specific protein or antigen in the blood that may be elevated in the presence of certain cancers. Oncologists use it for cancer screening, treatment monitoring, and detecting recurrence after remission.

What does Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) measure?

The CEA test measures carcinoembryonic antigen, a protein found in the blood. Levels are normally low in adults. Higher levels can occur when certain cancers are present. The specific marker measured depends on the test your doctor has ordered. A blood sample is typically drawn from a vein in the arm and processed through NABL-accredited laboratory equipment. Results are compared against established reference ranges for your age and gender.

What do the results of Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) mean?

Results are reported as numerical values alongside the laboratory's reference range for your age and gender. A value within the range is considered normal.
