Are elevated carcinoembryonic antigen and ferritin cancer?

The elevation of carcinoembryonic antigen ferritin should be examined in a regular cancer hospital in time to clarify the good nature, the elevated ferritin is due to many reasons, and a systemic investigation should be carried out in time to rule out the possibility of cancer as soon as possible.

Elevated carcinoembryonic antigen and ferritin indicate the possibility of digestive system tumors, especially liver cancer, and the possibility of hepatitis and liver cirrhosis is not excluded.

May be malignant.

Elevated carcinoembryonic antigen is common in colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, medullary thyroid cancer, etc.

In addition, there is a clear relationship between serum carcinoembryonic antigen levels and the stage of colorectal cancer, and the more advanced the lesions, the higher the carcinoembryonic antigen concentration.

This one is especially noteworthy. Elevated serum carcinoembryonic antigen is mainly seen in colorectal, gastric, liver, lung, pancreatic, breast, ovarian, uterine and cervical cancer, urinary tract tumors, etc. Other malignancies also have varying degrees of positive detection rates.

May be some of the most common conditions.

Smoking, pregnancy and cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, non-specific colitis and other diseases, 15% to 53% of patients will also have elevated serum carcinoembryonic antigen, so carcinoembryonic antigen is not a specific marker of malignant tumors, and only has auxiliary value in diagnosis.

May be a benign condition.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) may also be elevated in certain benign diseases, such as cirrhosis, hepatitis, emphysema, intestinal diverticulum, rectal polyps, and colitis. High carcinoembryonic antigen indicates that cancer cells are very active, and a combination of systemic chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine can be adopted, and chemotherapy can act quickly on the whole body, and the effect is better in the near future. However, chemotherapy is also very toxic and will bring great pain to patients, so it is necessary to cooperate with traditional Chinese medicine at the same time, which has the effect of strengthening the body, replenishing qi and nourishing blood, which can improve the body's immunity, improve circulation, alleviate chemotherapy toxicity, reduce patients' pain, and improve the quality of life.

First of all, don't worry too much. According to the doctor's diagnosis, as long as the carcinoembryonic antigen is high and does not exceed 20mg ml, it is impossible to determine the possibility that it must be cancer.

Secondly, you can do a specific part of the examination again. Although high carcinoembryonic antigen is not necessarily cancer, it may also cause inflammation, so it must not be underestimated. Generally speaking, the sooner you seek medical attention**, the better the results.

Finally, strengthen the body's workouts. Many diseases can be abandoned, and exercise can not only regulate the mood, but also strengthen the physique, which is of great help to the disease.

The significance of carcinoembryonic antigen is that it can reflect the existence of a variety of tumors, and can be used for the efficacy judgment, disease development, monitoring and prognosis estimation of colorectal cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer, but its specificity is not strong, the sensitivity is not high, and the early diagnosis of tumors is not obvious.

1.Go to the hospital for a comprehensive cancer check-up;

2.dynamic monitoring of carcinoembryonic antigen;

3.Ask an oncologist for a physical examination and thorough analysis of the results.

Carcinoembryonic antigen is a broad-spectrum tumor marker, not a specific tumor marker, and the value of carcinoembryonic antigen will be abnormal when many malignant tumors appear, so it is often used as a screening indicator for carcinoasis during physical examination.

However, it is important to know that carcinoembryonic antigen is different from some other indicators.

Just like high blood pressure, if the measured systolic blood pressure is higher than 139mmHg, it must be high blood pressure, and if the carcinoembryonic antigen is higher than the normal value, it is not necessarily 100% cancer, but it may be cancer, or it may be other non-cancer diseases.

Under normal circumstances, there is a limit to carcinoembryonic antigen in normal adults, if it is higher than this value, then there are two possible situations: the first is cancer patients, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer and other digestive tract cancers, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and other cancers, as well as lung cancer, thyroid cancer and other cancers;

Studies have shown that diabetes, colitis, rectal polyps, liver cirrhosis, hepatitis and other diseases may also cause carcinoembryonic antigen to be higher than normal.

Therefore, after the carcinoembryonic antigen value is higher than the boundary, it may be cancer, or it may be other diseases, generally speaking, when the carcinoembryonic antigen is elevated due to some non-cancer factors, it will not exceed 20ml g

Therefore, the higher the carcinoembryonic antigen value, the more likely it is to have cancer.

In general, the elevation of carcinoembryonic antigen due to some non-cancer factors does not exceed 20 ml g

If the carcinoembryonic antigen (CA) level is much higher than the normal range, it is recommended to perform other specific tumor marker tests, as well as other imaging tests, to determine the primary location and size of the cancer, so as to formulate a targeted plan.

If carcinoembryonic antigen values are well above the normal range, testing for other specific tumor markers is recommended

What causes a high carcinoembryonic antigen index?

You mean CEA, how tall? Is it male or female? If it is only 1 5 units higher than the normal value, it may be caused by inflammation, but if it is much higher, then it is still necessary to be vigilant For men, high CEA, it is recommended to do a digestive tract examination to rule out digestive tract tumors such as rectal cancer; For women, it is recommended to do lung examination, CT and other examinations to rule out the occurrence of lung tumors.

Oh. What causes high carcinoembryonic antigen? [High carcinoembryonic antigen during physical examination] CEA is a little higher than the normal reference, and there is no diagnosis and treatment value at present, but because CEA is a tumor marker, it cannot be ignored, and it must be re-examined later, in general, the following non-malignant diseases:

Hepatitis, alcoholic cirrhosis, pancreatitis, enteritis, pneumonia, etc., can cause a slight increase in CEA, but it will not continue to rise, but malignant diseases will continue to increase, so it is necessary to recheck and compare the results with the previous one. Uric acid is high, easy to form gout, need to pay attention to diet, drink less or no beer, and eat less seafood and soy products. A slight increase in aminotransferases may be associated with mild fatty liver disease, viral infection, and is not a big problem.

Dr. Chen Lixia of Xuzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine solemnly reminded that because the patient cannot be seen face-to-face and cannot fully understand the condition, the above suggestions are for reference only, and the specific diagnosis and treatment must be carried out in the hospital under the guidance of the doctor! ）
