CEA blood test is done to measure the levels of Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) in the body.
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a substance produced during the development of a fetus. Normally the production of CEA stops before birth, and CEA usually is not found in the blood of healthy adults. However, CEA may be found in the blood of people who are heavy smokers or who have some types of cancer, especially cancers of the pancreas, large intestine (colon and rectum), breast, or lung. Some other diseases may also raise CEA levels.
The Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) blood test detects the success of the cancer treatment by checking whether cancer has returned after treatment.
