EVALUATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SERUM LEVELS OF CARCINOEMBRYONIC ANTIGEN (CEA) AND HOMEOSTASIS MODEL ASSESSMENT OF INSULIN RESISTANCE-2 (HOMA2-IR) IN COLORECTAL CANCER PATIENTS

Background & Aims: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers and one of the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Accounting that the risk of colorectal cancer is associated with blood sugar indices as well as the role of CEA in the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer, this study was fulfilled to determine the relationship between serum level of CEA and HOMA2-IR...

Association 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...

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...
