The carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) test measures the amount of this protein that may appear in the blood of some people who have certain kinds of cancers, especially cancer of the large intestine (colon and rectal cancer). It may also be present in people with cancer of the pancreas, breast, ovary, or lung.
A CEA test is most useful after a diagnosis of a type of cancer thatâs known to produce CEA. Not all cancers produce CEA. Increased levels of CEA may be found in the following cancers: colorectal or colon cancer. medullary thyroid carcinoma. breast cancer. cancer of the gastrointestinal tract. liver cancer.
