| | Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) (Serial Monitor) |
| | A study of 1774 patients from 63 hospitals indicates that the preoperative level of serum CEA can be used as a prognostic indicator (of survival) in patients with colorectal cancer, independent of stage of disease at diagnosis. | | | As concerns circulating levels of CA 15-3 and CEA, a study of 173 patients with advanced breast carcinoma found that elevated CEA levels correlated with extent of disease but not with survival. | | | On the other hand, an immunocytochemistry study of 180 primary breast carcinomas utilizing antisers to CEA and CEA/NCA (nonspecific cross reacting antigen) showed no correlation between positivity of CEA immunocytochemistry and histologic grade, lymph node stage, disease-free interval or patient or survival. |
