CARCINO EMBRYONIC ANTIGEN (CEA) SERUM

Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) is a protein found in the tissues of a developing newborn (fetus). The CEA test is used to evaluate cancer treatment. It serves as a primary indicator of the present tumor's size and aids in cancer staging. CEA testing is not used to screen for cancer in people with no symptoms. This test is also not used to diagnose cancer because non-cancerous illnesses can cause CEA levels, and not all tumors cause CEA levels to rise. CEA blood tests in Delhi are available for breast, lung, thyroid, and pancreatic cancer. There is no need to fast for the CEA test in Delhi. Its level rises in pancreatic, liver, stomach, breast, colorectal, and ovarian malignancies. Blood is usually collected from the veins for the test, and no prior preparations are necessary. The cost of a Carcinoembryonic Antigen test in Delhi varies by region and facility.
