A member asked:
My father is a cancer patient & he is done with his 5 cycles of chemo, i just want to ask that why his cea level rises from 3.7 to 6.1 within 1 mnth?

Chemo done, etc..: This can be because the chemo. Is done. This is not only seen in cancer issues, but in smokers and other inflammatory conditions, like ulcerative colitis, pancreatitis, and crohn's disease. This is involved in cell adhesion and should not be present in adults, but as as mentioned, is noted in some adult conditions. If it stays up, see your doctor for more tests, as well as your check-up.
