A member asked:
What would cause cea blood marker to rise from 5 to 286 in 4 months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cancer: This is a pretty impressive rise in CEA level. Especially if you have a history of gastrointestinal cancer, this rise in CEA is recurrent cancer until proven otherwise. Visit your oncologist or surgeon for a complete evaluation.
