Carcinoembryonic Antigen test measures the amount of a protein that appear in the blood of some people who have certain kinds of cancers, especially large intestine cancer. Carcinoembryonic antigen is a glycoprotein involved in cell adhesion. Carcinoembryonic antigen is an antigen present in very small quantities in adult tissue. This is a tumor marker that is associated with metastasis.

Cardiac Cath Lab means Cardiac catheterization Laboratory. Cath lab teams include highly skilled and specialized registered nurses, cardiovascular and radiological technologists. The Center provides digital imaging equipment that visualizes and detects coronary artery disease. The images can be stored in the system as a guide for immediate or later treatment of the disease process. State-of-the-art electrophysiology equipment is utilized by the cardiologist and staff to diagnose and treat advanced cardiac dysrhythmias (irregular cardiac rhythms).

The cardiac catheter is a fine tube threaded through an artery to the heart. It is designed for passage, usually through a peripheral blood vessel, into the chambers of the heart under radiographic control. It is usually made of polythene tubing, which is introduced into the relevant vessel, generally in the cubital fossa or the femoral region. Its progress is watched under X-rays until it is seen to enter the heart.
