Roôle of carcinoembryonic antigen in bronchial carcinoma.
It has been reported that lung cancer patients often have raised carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels but the significance of this in diagnosis and follow-up has yet to be established. The results of 256 preoperative investigations in patients with lung cancer are reported. Sequential values after radical surgery and chemotherapy and immunotherapy have been performed in 57 patients during trea...
متن کاملRole of plasma carcinoembryonic antigen in diagnosis of gastrointestinal, mammary, and bronchial carcinoma.
Our studies have confirmed that raised plasma levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (C.E.A.) occur with many but not all malignant tumours, particularly those of the gastrointestinal tract, breast, and bronchus. However, the incidence of raised values may reach 30% in diseases associated with inflammation or regeneration or both. Consequently, it cannot serve yet as a routine screening test for ca...
متن کاملPlasma levels of carcinoembryonic antigen in bronchial carcinoma and chronic bronchitis.
The plasma levels of carcinoembryonic antigen were increased in 80% of 49 patients with bronchial carcinoma and in 68% of 25 patients with an acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. A single determination of the plasma carcinoembryonic antigen level has no prognostic value in patients with bronchial carcinoma.
متن کاملPreoperative carcinoembryonic antigen levels correlated with postoperative pathological staging in bronchial carcinoma.
Serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were obtained before operation in 214 patients undergoing diagnostic tests for suspected bronchial carcinoma, and the results correlated with the postoperative, pathological stage of disease. Positive CEA levels (greater than 10 ng/ml) were observed in 40% (8/20) of stage 1, 58.5% (31/53) of stage 2, 85.2% (69/81) of stage 3, and 92.3% (24/26) of stag...
متن کاملHuman platelet antigen polymorphism in bronchial asthma
Background: Asthma is recognized as a common cause of disability, of great economic cost, and of preventable deaths. In this study we aimed to test our hypothesis to evaluate the relationship between the Human Platelet Antigen-1(HPA-1) polymorphism and bronchial asthma and its severity, which would suggest genetic variances that may be responsible for expression or activation of these receptors...
