What Does The CEA Market Test Results Indicate?
Hi, i have one question. My CEA marker was 81 ng/L, before 2 weeks. After this report, I do other test, gastroscopy, colonoscopy and UZV abdomena. All results are good. So, my doctor think, that I havent got a cancer. Before 3 days I tested CEA, again, and the value is 75. What You think Thank you

Hello and welcome to HCM,
CEA is carcino- embryonic antigen.
CEA is elevated in colon cancer and its level is estimated to confirm colon cancer and to look for evidence of distant metastasis or recurrence.
CEA level of 75 or 81 is not significant.
Thus, do not worry about CEA levels.
Thanks and take care
