Professional analysis in an accredited laboratory ensures rapid result delivery.
Tests which include a Carcinoembryonic Antigen test:
What if Carcinoembryonic Antigen Results Are High?
Raised CEA can be associated with tumour activity, but it can also occur with non-cancer causes.
- CEA levels may rise in relation to tumour activity.
- CEA can also be raised in benign situations, including smoking.
This type of result is often reviewed alongside other findings to help clarify the likely cause.
What if Carcinoembryonic Antigen Results Are Low?
A normal CEA level can be reassuring, but it is still interpreted alongside the wider clinical picture and other relevant information.
Why Take The Carcinoembryonic Antigen Test?
This test is valuable in monitoring known cancer rather than screening. It helps assess response to treatment or detect recurrence when interpreted with clinical findings and imaging.
