About this test
A blood test that measures carcinoembryonic antigen, a protein made by some cells of the bowel and other tissues. Blood is drawn from a vein in the arm and tested in a lab.
A raised level can point to colorectal or other digestive-tract cancer, but smoking and benign conditions can also raise it. Tumor markers are not used as stand-alone cancer screens in the US, and abnormal values often lead to imaging.
