What is it?
CEA is a valuable marker in the monitoring of colorectal cancer therapy. Colorectal cancer is the second most common malignant disease in the whole world. CEA monitoring must start before treatment to establish the post-therapeutic decrease and the level for evaluating possible recurrences.
Why get one?
A high level of a specific tumour marker can indicate a certain type of cancer. It helps the oncologist decide what treatment or combination will work best for a particular type of cancer. Evaluate how well the treatment worked. Sometimes, tumour markers are used for screening purposes to help detect a specific type of cancer in people at high risk before they have signs or symptoms.

CEA
Scientific Information Data from Instrument and Reagent Supplier
Testing Technology Method:
Fluorescence quantitative immunoassay
Limit of Detection:
Less than or equal to 2.0 ng/mL.
Precision:
The within assay CV is ≤ 10%. The between assay CV is ≤ 15%.
Measuring Range:
2.0~500.0 ng/mL
Validation-Active Information:
- EQA: Yes
- Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to validation schedule
- Event-triggered- Qc/Calibration/New materials/Batch
Test Precision:
The precision relies on the within assay coefficient of variations and the between assay coefficient. The within assay coefficient of variations is the variance of the result value if the same test was analysed again. The between assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample was reprocessed from the beginning again.
In range results:
CEA levels that are less than or equal to 4.7 ng/mL are considered at the normal range.
Out of range results:
Any result greater than 4.7 ng/mL ranges would be considered abnormal. Those with slight to moderate CEA may be at risk for non-malignant disease of the intestine, pancreas, liver, and lungs. However, this test alone cannot be used to diagnose cancer. It is also important to note that smoking can lead to elevated levels of CEA.
