summary

Pancreatic embryonic antigen (POA) was first discovered by Banwo in 1974. In recent years, IRMA method was established to determine serum POA with monoclonal antibody. An antigen produced by the fetal pancreas. Let's share my experience with you.

What is the normal value of pancreatic carcinoembryonic antigen?

Liver disease experts point out that many people think that CEA is the CEA of liver cancer. It is unscientific to be familiar with it. CEA is CEA, not CEA of liver cancer. The specific index of liver cancer is AFP. In fact, carcinoembryonic antigen has a normal reference value, as long as it is within the normal range, there is no problem.

The normal reference value of carcinoembryonic antigen is that the concentration of carcinoembryonic antigen in the normal human body is 2.5ng/ml, and the concentration of carcinoembryonic antigen in the examiners is more than 20ng / ml, which indicates that there is a tumor. Carcinoembryonic antigen elevation is mainly seen in stomach, intestine and other digestive tract tumor diseases. If the index is higher than this range in the re examination, we should pay attention to it.

The causes of elevated CEA are common in colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, medullary thyroid cancer and so on. In addition, smoking, pregnancy, cardiovascular disease and diabetes may also cause the rise of CEA. Patients with elevated CEA must pay more attention to it.

matters needing attention

The increase of CEA must be paid great attention to by patients. They should go to the hospital in time. Only after the guidance and comprehensive examination of doctors in the hospital can they guide the root cause, prescribe the right medicine and treat them in time. In addition, in daily life, they should also pay attention to healthy and regular living habits, less smoking and drinking, etc, Do something that's good for your health.
