A member asked:
What are the blood tests after being diagnosed with stage 1 colon cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Establishes baseline: You will almost certainly have normal liver functions, blood counts, and CEA at present, but these will be monitored into the future. Any change can be an early sign of cancer recurrence, so continue to get checkups! I have had many patients who neglected their cancer follow up and died as a result.
