CEA is only a tumor marker for cancer of liver.That means the individual may/may not develop liver cancer.Periodic chek up,giving up alcohol,and high carbohydrate diet are recommended.False negative high levels occur in chronic alcoholics,and severe uncontroled diabetics.It is a blessing in disguise as the individual if at all gets malignancy of liver gets the earliest diagnosis and curative treatment.
