Doctors’ responses

1) Your result of 2.18 ng/mL is within the normal range, suggesting there is no active or detectable cancer at present based on this test. 2) However, CEA alone cannot confirm complete absence of cancer , clinical evaluation, imaging (CT scans, colonoscopy if needed), and oncologist assessment are also essential.
