Definition of husky. huskier. ; huskiest. : resembling, containing, or full of husks.
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.
Laboratories may use different methods to test for CEA, so results can vary from lab to lab. If you are having a series of CEA tests done, it is advised that you have the tests done by the same method, typically by the same laboratory, so that the results can be compared and interpreted correctly.
