Carcino embryonic Antigen (CEA) Test

Report Delivery Time: Next Day

Recommended Gender: Both

Sample Type: Blood

The Carcino embryonic Antigen Test is a tumor marker blood test used primarily to monitor cancer progression, treatment effectiveness, and recurrence, especially in colorectal cancer. Also known as the CEA test, it plays a crucial role in cancer care and follow-up.

The Carcino embryonic Antigen Test is a diagnostic blood test that measures levels of CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen), a protein that may be elevated in certain types of cancers, particularly colorectal, lung, pancreatic, breast, and ovarian cancers. While not used for primary cancer screening, the Carcinoembryonic Antigen Test is a key tool in evaluating treatment response, cancer staging, and recurrence detection.

Also referred to as the CEA test, this test is commonly ordered by oncologists to monitor patients after cancer treatment, especially for colorectal malignancies. CEA levels may decrease with successful treatment or increase if the cancer is returning or progressing.

It’s also important to note that the Carcinoembryonic Antigen Test can show mildly elevated values in benign conditions such as smoking, inflammation, or liver disease. Therefore, the test is interpreted in combination with imaging and other diagnostic procedures.


Parameters Covered

  • Carcino embryonic Antigen (CEA): Measures the concentration of CEA protein in blood, a tumor marker associated with various cancers.


Why is the Carcino embryonic Antigen Test Important?

  • Monitors effectiveness of cancer treatment (e.g., chemotherapy)

  • Detects recurrence of cancer post-treatment

  • Assists in cancer staging and prognosis

  • Supports ongoing surveillance in high-risk individuals


Who Should Take This Test?

  • Patients diagnosed with colorectal or gastrointestinal cancers

  • Individuals undergoing or completing cancer treatment

  • Patients with symptoms suggesting cancer recurrence

  • Anyone advised by an oncologist to monitor CEA levels


Test Procedure & Preparation

  • Sample Type: Blood sample

  • Fasting Required: No

  • Preparation: No special preparation needed


Understanding the Results

A high CEA level from the Carcino embryonic Antigen Test can indicate active cancer, recurrence, or lack of treatment response. Declining CEA levels usually reflect successful therapy. Results should always be interpreted by a physician in conjunction with imaging and clinical findings.
