    What is Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Test?

    The CEA test detects levels of a protein called carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in the blood. Known as a tumor marker, CEA is a substance released by some cancer cells. However, healthy cells also produce CEA in very low amounts, so most individuals have CEA levels within a “normal range,” reflected in the reference range on lab results.

    The CEA test can help detect certain cancers, as elevated CEA may be associated with cancers in the colon, rectum, lungs, liver, breast, pancreas, prostate, thyroid, and ovaries. For those already diagnosed, regular CEA tests can provide information on the cancer’s progression, potential for recovery, or chances of recurrence. Physicians may also check CEA levels to gauge how well treatment is working.

    It’s important to know that the CEA test isn’t used alone to diagnose cancer. Some cancer patients might show normal CEA levels, and non-cancerous conditions like liver or respiratory issues can also elevate CEA. Therefore, CEA testing is typically combined with other diagnostic methods to provide a fuller view of health and treatment progress.

    Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Test Parameters

    The Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) test measures the amount of CEA in the blood.

    CEA is a glycoprotein produced by both cancerous and normal cells. It was first identified in 1968 from liver cells damaged by colorectal cancer and from foetal digestive cells. While CEA levels are high at birth and decrease with age, elevated CEA levels can indicate certain cancers or other medical conditions.

    CEA tests are most commonly performed on blood samples, but in rare cases, fluids from the spine, chest, or abdomen may also be tested. For cancer patients, especially those with colorectal cancer, CEA testing helps monitor treatment effectiveness, track relapses, and detect recurrence.

    It is also useful for monitoring other cancers, including those of the breast, lungs, ovaries, bladder, and thyroid. To gain a complete picture of a patient’s health and treatment progress, CEA levels are usually assessed alongside physical exams, imaging scans, and additional lab tests.

    Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Test Preparation

    Take the following factors into account before arranging a Carcinoembryonic Antigen test in Gurgaon:

    • Prerequisites

    There is no need to fast prior to taking a Carcinoembryonic Antigen test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    The test can be done at any time of the day.

    • Who Should Get This Test

    Individuals diagnosed with cancers, particularly colorectal cancer, should undergo this test to monitor their treatment response, check for relapses, and detect any recurrences.

    • Cautions Before Taking This Test

    No special preparation is typically required, but it’s recommended to consult with your doctor beforehand.

    Note : For consistency in results, this test should be conducted at the same lab as test results are highly dependent on the machine and methodology used.

    Why Take the Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Test?

    The CEA test can be a valuable tool for diagnosing cancer when used alongside other diagnostic tests, and it provides useful information for those already diagnosed with cancer. However, it is not solely relied upon for diagnosing cancer. The test is typically recommended for:

    • Monitoring cancer spread : It helps identify if the cancer has spread to other parts of your body.

    • Assessing the effectiveness of treatment : It provides information on how well your cancer treatments are working.

    This test may be performed at different times, including:

    • Right after diagnosis : To help determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

    • During treatment : To assess how well therapies like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation are working.

    • After completing treatment : To monitor for any signs of cancer recurrence.

    • Before starting treatment or surgery : Follow-up tests are generally conducted every one to three months during active treatment.

    It's essential to note that an increase in CEA levels within four to six weeks of beginning treatment does not necessarily mean the treatment is failing. If you’re in remission, your doctor may recommend regular CEA tests to monitor for any signs of recurrence, and they will decide how frequently these tests should be conducted.
