What Does This Semen Analysis Report Indicate?

Dear Dr. I am a neurosurgeon in Istanbul Turkey. My cousin who is 58 years old male very healthy otherwise nothing remarkable in his medical history. He had light brown semen during ejaculation since 2 days no pain or any complaints during urination and his labs were checked yesterday after the colour change in his semen and his; WBC: 6.4, CRP: normal, U/A: with 1-2 WBC Leukocyte esterase +, 8-10 epithelial cells, Urine culture is pending, his CEA is 9.3 (Normal≤4.7), CA19-9: 13.6(0-39), PSA: 3.31 (Normal≤4.31ng/ml), PSA free: 0.47 ng/mL. He never smoked in his life, no alcohol and works out regularly. Several physicians had conflicting suggestions from that CEA increase is not meaningful to CT/MRI, U/S, chest X-Ray to Colonoscopy here in Istanbul. Although it is hard to make suggestions without seeing a patient how would you manage such a patient. What would be next step to check the source of increase his CEA. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you very much in advance. Best regards Oktar Babuna MD Mobile: +90 0000 YYYY@YYYY

Urologist 's  Response
Hello Dr.Oktar and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
The only report you're anxious about,is semen being light colored and CEA.
The best way to clear doubts is,to repeat CEA and do a semen analysis.
If he gets examined by an Urologist,he'll do a DRE (rectal examination).
An ultrasound-KUB with TRUS and LFT,will complete the basic tests needed.
If repeat CEA is high,he'll need further testing,with CECT.(contrast CT).
If you've any doubts,you may send the reports to me,as a direct question.
