The Significance of Serum Carcinoembryonic Antigen in Lung Adenocarcinoma
BACKGROUND A raised carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) may be associated with significant pathology during the postoperative follow-up of lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of 305 patients who underwent surgical resections for primary lung adenocarcinoma at a single institution between April 2006 and February 2013. RESULTS Preoperative CEA levels were significantly ass...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen level in lung adenocarcinoma but not squamous cell carcinoma.
OBJECTIVES Clinical significance of measurement of preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level in patients with non-small cell lung cancer was investigated. METHODS Consecutive 271 adenocarcinoma and 112 squamous cell carcinoma patients of non-small cell lung cancer referred to our institute were included in this study. There were 214 men and 169 women, ages ranged from 19 to 90 y...
متن کاملPre- and post-operative serum carcinoembryonic antigen in primary lung adenocarcinoma.
The clinical value of pre- and post-operative serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) concentration (mean +/- SEM, ng/ml) in surgically treated primary lung cancer patients with adenocarcinoma (n=97) was studied. Preoperative CEA in pT2 patients (18.3+/-8.0) was higher than in pT1 (10.5+/-6.4, p<0.05) but was not different from pT3 patients (19.7+/-6.7). Preoperative CEA in pN1 patients (5.9+/-1.6...
متن کاملSignificance of carcinoembryonic antigen in retinoblastoma.
The role of estimating the serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in the diagnosis and prognosis of retinoblastoma cases has been evaluated. Although the mean serum CEA titre in children with retinoblastoma was higher than that in control children (p = 0.01), the serum CEA level itself was found not to be a useful marker in the diagnosis of retinoblastoma. A significant correlation of serum CEA t...
متن کاملA 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...
