It is important to note that a test that is positive for CEA may not always be indicative of cancers. It is due to this reason that this test is not used to screen for cancers. The CEA blood test normal range is from 0 to 2.5 micrograms per liter.
Both benign (harmless) and malignant (cancerous) conditions can increase the CEA level. The most frequent cancer which causes an increased CEA is cancer of the colon and rectum. Others include cancers of the pancreas, stomach, breast, lung, and medullary carcinoma of the thyroid and ovarian cancer.hen the CEA level is abnormally high before surgery or other treatment, it is expected to fall to normal following successful surgery to remove all of the cancer. A rising CEA level indicates progression or recurrence of the cancer.
