CEA (Colon cancer)
CEA is a useful marker in the monitoring of colorectal cancer therapy. Furthermore, Colorectal cancer is the second most common malignant disease in the whole world. Also, the monitoring must start before treatment to establish the post-therapeutic decrease and the level for evaluating possible recurrences.
A high level of a specific tumour marker can indicate a particular type of cancer. And it helps the oncologist decide what treatment or combination will work best for a certain type of cancer. Therefore, evaluate how well the treatment worked. Sometimes, tumour markers are used for screening to help detect a certain type of cancer in people at high risk before they have signs or symptoms.
Order your kit online and once it arrive collect your sample at home.
Then, in the morning, drop off the kit at the Royal Mail Red Street Box. Use the Track24/48 Return Label to the Lab.
Lastly, once your results are ready, we will email you the Result. You can also view the report in your Dashboard.

Also, Medicines Online recommends the following sample management protocol.
Sample Management starts when you prick your finger or make your swab or urine, using your chosen type for men’s and women’s home kits. Therefore, please do not leave your sample around the Home for 1-2 days. Because it will arrive at the Laboratory already clotted or spoiled, and it can’t be processed. So, please take your sample to the drop box or post office as close to the collection time as possible. But ensure that any CEA samples are collected properly and not sitting overnight in the drop box, waiting for collection the next day or several days later.
Therefore, any waiting time is bad for your sample. Importantly, your sample must arrive at the Laboratory in good condition. If not, it needs to be disposed of.
The target turnaround time is 1 working day. However, you can upgrade to a while-you-wait service for £50.
Lastly, please make a sample from Monday to Thursday to avoid delivery delays at the lab.
We have a 14-day return policy, which means you have 14 days after receiving your item to request a return.
However, to Qualify for any CEA Blood Test Kit return, the product must be in the same condition as when you received it. It is not used, not opened, unworn, and in its original packaging. Therefore, you will also need to send it to us with the receipt or proof of purchase.

Fluorescence quantitative immunoassay
Less than or equal to 2.0 ng/mL.
The within assay CV is ≤ 10%. The between assay CV is ≤ 15%.
2.0~500.0 ng/mL
The precision relies on the within-assay coefficient of variations and the between-assay coefficient. The within-assay coefficient of variations would be the variance of the result value if the same test were analysed again. The between assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample was reprocessed from the beginning again.
CEA levels less than or equal to 4.7 ng/mL are considered in the normal range.
Any result above the 4.7 ng/mL range would be considered abnormal. Those with slight to moderate CEA may be at risk for non-malignant disease of the intestine, pancreas, liver, and lungs. However, this test alone cannot be used to diagnose cancer. It is also important to note that smoking can lead to elevated levels of CEA.
