A Carcinoembryonic Antigen-Secreting Adenocarcinoma Arising in Tailgut Cyst : Clinical Implications of Carcinoembryonic Antigen
Tailgut cysts (TGCs) are rare congenital cysts that occur in the retrorectal or presacral spaces. Although most tailgut cysts have been reported as benign, there have been at least 9 cases associated with malignant change. We report herein on an unusual case of a 40-year-old woman with a carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-producing adenocarcinoma arising within a TGC who underwent surgical resectio...
متن کاملSerum Levels of Carcinoembryonic Antigen and a Tumor-extracted Carcinoembryonic Antigen-related Antigen in Cancer Patients1
Levels of Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and a tumor-ex tracted CEA-related antigen (TEX) were determined in sera from patients with carcinomas of the breast, colon, lung, head and neck, and a number of miscellaneous categories. The purpose of this study was to compare the levels of each antigen at various stages of malignant disease. Competitive radioimmunoassays developed in our laboratory we...

متن کاملCyst carcinoembryonic antigen in differentiating pancreatic cysts: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Using carcinoembryonic antigen in discriminating between benign and malignant disease remains controversial. AIMS We aim to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of cyst fluid carcinoembryonic antigen in predicting malignant pancreatic cystic lesions. METHODS We performed a literature search of MEDLINE and EMBASE. We included studies that compared the diagnostic accuracy of carcinoemb...
متن کاملSerum carcinoembryonic antigen in clinical disorders.
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels have been measured in the serum of 490 patients and 93 normal controls using the double antibody radioimmunoassay technique. Levels were elevated in 71 of patients with carcinomata of the gastrointestinal tract and in 42% with other types of malignancy. In patients with non-neoplastic disease of the gastrointestinal tract and liver, elevated levels were fou...
