Objective: To determine the characteristics of Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) use in oncology patients at the Naval Medical Center in Lima in 2019. Method: The clinical records of individuals with colorectal, gastric, and ovarian neoplastic diagnoses from 2019 were located in the laboratory database and archive area. Serum CEA data were collected for both single and multiple dosages to observe their characteristics under the parameters of dosage, sex, age, cancer type, disease evolution, and type of care. Results: 29 patients had a single monitoring, 17 had two, 9 had three, and 5 had five. 54% of male patients had one dosage, while females had 47%. Younger patients had two monitorings, while adults and older adults had up to five, with 2 and 3 cases respectively. Patients with gastric cancer had five monitorings, and those with colorectal and ovarian cancer had three. 48 patients had a favorable outcome, and 12 patients with an unfavorable outcome received one, two, three, and five monitorings in equal proportion. 39 cases were outpatient, and 21 were hospitalized. Conclusions: In all cases evaluated, the CEA dosage showed that 29 patients had a single dosage and 5 had five monitorings. The dosage was higher in women (up to five monitorings in 9% of cases) and in older adults (39 cases). It was also higher in gastric cancer patients (up to five monitorings). 48 patients had favorable outcomes and 12 patients had unfavorable outcomes.
