CEA tumor marker

Tumor markers are substances, usually proteins, that the body makes in response to cancer or that are made by the cancer itself.

Please confirm this in the comments during the order: "I am adequately informed and accept the possibility that mentally distressing results may be found. I will discuss this result myself with my treating physician viz: (name of your treating physician)."

Some tumor markers belong to one type of cancer; others occur in multiple types. These substances do not prove the presence of a tumor: we also find them in other diseases and even in healthy people. So the result alone does not say everything. Tumor markers can help us make a diagnosis, but only in combination with other research. The substances tell a hospital especially a lot about the course of the disease.

On this site you can read which tumor markers can be determined for different types of cancers.

CEA is used for the diagnosis and follow-up of gastrointestinal carcinoma, and the diagnosis of liver tumors.

This test is only possible with a doctor's referral, for example, to monitor your blood values during vacation, during a treatment.

You agree to send your results to Blood Values Test and accept the possibility that mentally distressing results may be found.

We can only perform the tests and give you the measured values. For further interpretation of these tests you should turn to a medical specialist.
