An immunohistochemical study of keratin, carcinoembryonic antigen, human chorionic gonadotropin and alpha-fetoprotein in lung cancer.
Immunohistochemical staining utilizing a peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) technique for keratin, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was performed on paraffin sections from 72 cases of lung cancer obtained at autopsy. Positive reaction was shown in 44% of the cases for keratin, 77% for CEA, and 58% for HCG. AFP was positive in only one c...
متن کاملAssociation between carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 and body mass index in colorectal cancer patients
Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) have been well recognized as tumor markers for colorectal cancer. Previous studies suggested that obesity is inversely associated with the screening of CEA and CA19-9 levels and may reduce screening sensitivity. This study was conducted to evaluate the association of body mass index (BMI) with serum CEA and CA19-9 concentrati...
متن کاملClinical utility of tumor marker cutoff ratio and a combination scoring system of preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen 19-9, carbohydrate antigen 72-4 levels in gastric cancer
PURPOSE The present study is to investigate the clinical utility of tumor marker cutoff ratio (TMR) and develop a TMR combination scoring system based on preoperative tumor marker (TM) levels to prognosis prediction in gastric cancer. METHODS We include 1,142 patients for whom two or more TMs were measured and who underwent radical gastrectomy between 1990 and 2003. RESULTS Five-year risk o...
متن کاملAt Which Stage of Gastric Cancer Progression Do Levels of Carcinoembryonic Antigen and Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 Increase? Application in Advanced Gastric Cancer Treatment
PURPOSE Since there are no proven tumor markers that reflect the course of gastric cancer, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) are commonly used alternatives. However, the degree of progression that corresponds to an increase in these markers, and the values of these markers at different cancer stages, remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study enrolle...
متن کاملA case of alpha-fetoprotein-producing gastric cancer.
INTRODUCTION A case of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-producing gastric cancer is described in a 57-year-old Chinese woman. CLINICAL PICTURE She presented with bleeding tendency and bone pain, and was found to have haematological evidence of disseminated intravascular coagulation and spinal metastasis. Her tumour markers, including AFP, Ca 19-9 and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were elevated. In vi...
