Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) describes a set of highly related
glycoproteins involved in cell adhesion and is normally produced in gastrointestinal

in low levels in the blood under normal conditions whereas under cancerous conditions
the levels of CEA rise. CEA test is performed for diagnosis of colorectal cancer |
