Carcinoembryonic antigen is primarily found in malignant tumors of the digestive tract, such as colorectal cancer and gastric cancer, where it tends to be significantly elevated. It is also elevated in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. In cases of ovarian cancer, carcinoembryonic antigen may be elevated, but the most primary, sensitive, and specific tumor marker is CA125, which usually shows a significant increase. However, CA125 is specifically elevated in the pathological type of epithelial ovarian cancer.
