A member asked:
What does slight increase from .7 to 1 cea level indicates after resecting rectal cancer stage 1 two years back . the preope value 2.2?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is normal: Your CEA is normal, so why bother checking it. I would advise not to check it unless there is clear cut indication. it can only cause you more anxiety and little benefit!
