CEA blood test

Your blood may be demonstrated for a protein known as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). This protein is produced through some melanoma cells. If the results of the blood scan exhibit that you've got a high CEA level, your surgeon could organise more exams. This is for the reason that different causes, corresponding to smoking or being pregnant, might also expand the extent of CEA. Your CEA stage is also retested after treatment to peer if the melanoma has come again
