Serum 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 کاملFactors Associated with Serum Levels of Carcinoembryonic Antigen in Healthy Non-smokers
BACKGROUND Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), a serological marker of malignant tumors, demonstrates a modest increase under nonmalignant conditions such as aging and smoking. Also, recent study results suggested that serum CEA levels may be related to insulin resistance or low-grade inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors associated with serum CEA levels in healthy non-...
متن کاملAre serum carcinoembryonic antigen levels associated with carotid atherosclerosis in Japanese men?
OBJECTIVE Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), a serological marker of malignant tumors, may show a modest increase under some nonmalignant conditions, such as ageing and cigarette smoking. We have investigated whether serum CEA levels are associated with early carotid atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Cross-sectional data from 4181 male individuals who underwent general health screening were a...
