CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen)

CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen) is a protein found in the blood that may be elevated in certain cancers, including pancreatic cancer. While it’s not used for diagnosis, CEA levels can help monitor how a person’s cancer is responding to treatment or if it has returned. A simple blood test measures this marker, and results are discussed with the care team. It’s one of many tools available to support personalized cancer care and ensure the best outcomes for people living with pancreatic cancer.
