Wink Re: Help with terminology

A MUGA test is a nuclear medicine test to check heart function. Another heart test called an eccocardiogram (ultra sound of the heart) can also be used. CA or CEA tests are blood tumor marker tests that sometimes help doctors determine the total amount of cancer in the body. CA and CEA test results can also be influenced by inflammation and benign conditions such as cysts and benign tumors.
