    What is Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Test?

    The CEA test measures the level of a protein called carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in the blood. CEA, which is considered a tumour marker, is a substance that some cancer cells release into the blood. Healthy cells also make very low levels of tumour markers, so many people have CEA levels within a “normal range”. This is shown as reference range on laboratory reports.

    The CEA test can assist in diagnosing certain cancers, as elevated CEA levels may be associated with cancers of the colon, rectum, lung, liver, breast, pancreas, prostate, thyroid, and ovaries. For people already diagnosed with these types of cancer, measuring CEA levels over time can help doctors understand more about the cancer, the chance of recovery, or the likelihood of the cancer returning after treatment. Physicians might also monitor CEA levels throughout treatment to evaluate its effectiveness.

    It is important to know that the CEA test is not used to diagnose cancer on its own. This is because sometimes an individual with cancer could still have a normal CEA test result. Also, several non-cancerous conditions like liver problems, digestive issues, and breathing issues can cause CEA levels to rise. Therefore, CEA testing is usually used with other tests for a more accurate view of a patient’s health status and treatment progress.

    Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Test Parameters

    The Carcinoembryonic Antigen test measures one parameter: the level of CEA in the blood.

    CEA is a glycoprotein produced by both normal and cancerous cells. First identified in 1968 from liver cells affected by colorectal cancer and from foetal digestive cells, CEA is naturally high at birth and typically decreases with age. However, some medical conditions, including certain cancers, can cause an increase in CEA levels.

    Most CEA tests are done on a blood sample to measure CEA levels. In rare cases, samples may also be taken from fluid in the spine, chest, or abdomen if needed. For patients diagnosed with cancers, especially colorectal cancer, CEA testing assists in monitoring treatment response, tracking for relapses, and detecting recurrences.

    Beyond colorectal cancer, CEA testing can also support monitoring in cases of breast, lung, ovarian, bladder, and thyroid cancers. To get a complete understanding of a patient’s health and response to treatment, CEA levels are generally assessed alongside imaging scans, physical exams, and additional lab tests.

    • Cautions Before Taking This Test

    Why Take the Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Test?

    The CEA test may be helpful in diagnosing cancer when done along with other tests and it provides helpful information if an individual has already been diagnosed with cancer. However, it is not used to diagnose cancer on its own. The test is recommended for the following reasons:

    • To check if cancer has spread: The test can show if the cancer has grown or spread to other parts of your body.

    • To evaluate treatment effectiveness: It helps determine how well your cancer treatment is working.

    You might have this test at different times, such as:

    • Right after diagnosis: To help your doctor plan your treatment.

    • During treatment: To check how effective therapies like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation are.

    • After treatment ends: To check if the cancer has come back.

    • Before starting treatment or surgery: Follow-up tests are usually done every one to three months during active treatment.

    Remember, an increase in CEA levels four to six weeks after starting treatment doesn’t always mean that treatment is failing. If you are in remission, your doctor may suggest regular CEA tests to monitor for any signs of cancer returning. They will decide how often you need these tests.

    • Had booked blood test for my family (family of three). The technician was on time and very organized. Their updates are regular, right from assigning the technician to providing the final report. Would definitely recommend Orange health labs' service for those who do not have the time to get to a health center and would like to get it done at their leisure, in a very safe, secure and hygiene setup (our homes) coupled with extremely professional service.

    • My experience with Orange labs have been excellent so far. Have relied on their home visit for regular blood tests given that it is a case of dengue, and close monitoring of the blood count is essential. They are prompt as promised and the results too are available within committed time lines. As to accuracy of results, I rely on the lab certifications to give me confidence. Would have wanted a voice interface ( a number to call ) for a first time experience, and an ability to order for quicker reports (2 hours) for a differential charge. For the service delivered as published, it is a 5-star
