🧬 Test It Tuesday: The CEA Marker

 

Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) is a blood marker often used to monitor certain types of cancers, especially colorectal, breast, lung, and pancreatic cancers. Elevated CEA can indicate inflammation, tumor presence, or recurrence, but it can also rise with smoking or other non-cancer-related conditions.

While it's not used for diagnosis alone, tracking CEA over time provides valuable insight into how a patient is responding to treatment or if deeper investigation is needed.

🔗 Connecting the Two

When patients are working to reduce inflammation and support their body’s healing from cancer, or aiming for prevention, adding MCP to their protocol while monitoring CEA may offer measurable, encouraging feedback. It's a gentle, evidence-based tool to support your body's healing intelligence.
