Why do Cea Levels rise. Mine keeps going up. .5 then 3.4 now 4.3 this is all within a few months. The oncologist said don't worry but we do.

    a rise in CEA could be attributed to inflammation, infection, dehydration among other things, including cancer. Hope that helps. Wishing yours is unrelated to cancer.
