Overview
The laboratory findings associated with colorectal carcinoma are the following: CBC, FOBT, serum CEA and CA 19-9 concentration, serum iron concentrations, serum vitamin B12 and folate concentrations, liver function tests, and pulmonary function tests.
Colorectal Cancer Laboratory Findings
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of colorectal cancer include:
- Complete blood count and differential count
- anemia
- Individuals with microcytic anemia over 50 years of age are suspected of having colorectal cancer.[1]
- Fecal occult blood test(FOBT)
- Demonstrates occult bleeding from the intestines
- Serum carcino-embryogenic antigen (CEA) and CA 19-9 [2]
- Elevated concentrations associated with larger tumor masses and have a poorer prognosis
- Sensitivity of CEA in diagnosis of colorectal cancer is almost 50%[3]
