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.
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a tumor marker that is measured using a blood test. High levels of CEA may indicate that cancer has spread; however, other medical conditions and some treatments, including certain types of chemotherapy, may raise CEA levels. Cancer antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is a tumor marker that is also measured using a blood test.
