What is CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen)?
CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen) is a tumour marker most commonly used to monitor colorectal cancer treatment and detect recurrence, and can be mildly elevated by smoking or other non-cancerous conditions.
Why is CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen) done?
- Tumor markers are substances in the blood that can be raised in some cancers. They are mainly used to monitor treatment and spot recurrence rather than to diagnose cancer by themselves.
- Tumor markers such as CEA and CA 19-9 help monitor gastrointestinal cancers.
- KIT/PDGFRA testing guides treatment of GIST; claudin 18.2 and HER2 guide treatment of gastric cancer.
Who may be advised to take CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen)?
- Patients with colorectal, gastric, pancreatic, liver or GIST tumors, as advised by their oncologist.
