My Husband Had Not Well Differentiated AdenoCA Of The Distal
My husband had not well differentiated AdenoCA of the distal esophagus and gastric cardia dx.d 11/08.
He had Chemo, Radiation and then in 3/09 a Gastric Pull through. He is in the hosp now for Jejunostomy tube leakage and has some mildly suspicious findings in his anastamotic area on CT. My ? is: is there a lab test, CEA or other, that can test for the possibility of cancer ; and what would be the values ?
Thank you, Kathy
