Overview
Some patients with small intestine cancer may have elevated concentration of liver enzymes, which is usually suggestive of possible spread to the liver or blockage of the bile duct.
Laboratory Findings
- Blood count to look for anemia
- Liver function tests for possible spread to the liver or blockage of the bile duct
- CEA levels[1]
