Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/02/2016 -- Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a protein produced when the fetus is developing but is absent in adults. However, the presence of CEA in abnormal amounts can lead to cancer. A CEA test is conducted to measure the level of proteins and keep a check on the recurrence of colon or other types of cancers in patients who are already diagnosed with cancer. The accepted range of this protein is between 0 and 0.25 micro-organisms per liter. Presence of CEA at an elevated level in recently treated cancer patients indicates recurrence of the ailment.

Transparency Market Research, in a new report, titled "CEA Testing Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 – 2019," provides a comprehensive overview of the global market for CEA testing. It studies the market from the ground up, covering aspects such as the market's definition, segmentation based on various parameters, and factors impacting its growth over the forecast period from 2013 to 2019.

The elevated levels of CEA are attributed to various types of cancers and other conditions such as heavy smoking, lung infection, cholecystitis, peptic ulcer, and inflammatory bowel disease. Additionally, hematoma, which occurs when blood accumulates under the skin, dizziness, infection, and excessive bleeding are other risks commonly associated with the presence of CEA in abnormal levels. It is possible to diagnose the level of CEA in body by using arcitumomab, which is a monoclonal antibody. Arcitumomab is also used to identify glycoprotein expression in tissue samples.
