Why this test?
This test measures blood levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), a glycoprotein that may be elevated in certain types of cancer. CEA can be produced by tumors affecting organs such as the pancreas, prostate, thyroid, ovaries, colon, rectum, lungs, liver, and breast, although it may also be present in normal tissues. This test helps initially identify abnormalities that may be further investigated under medical guidance, as a definitive diagnosis requires a comprehensive evaluation of additional factors determined by the healthcare professional in charge.
