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.
For example, if CEA is detected in cerebrospinal fluid, this may indicate a central nervous system metastasis. Since not all cancers produce CEA, it is possible to have cancer but also have a normal CEA. If a cancer does not produce CEA, then the test will not be useful as a monitoring tool.
