A member asked:

How to control cea in non smoker person ex-specially in female of 42 yrs old ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

?Cause: It depends on the cause of CEA rise. This requires further testing but it all depends on the level/value of the CEA. if you tell us the actual report/values over time, we can guide you better. Does the patient have any recent diagnosis of cancer? We need complete details of the medical history before we can figure out what to do next..
