Gastric duplication cyst (GDC) in an adult can have several clinical presentations. A review of the literature showed previously reported cases of GDC presenting as pancreatic pseudocyst or with greatly raised concentrations of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9). It is often difficult to discriminate GDC from pancreatic cystic tumour, in particular pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma, in which con...

The expression of human tumor-associated antigens CO17-1 A, GA733, BR55-2, CICA 19-9, and CASO and of carcinoembryonic antigen was immunohistochemically studied in the colonie mucosa of 70 SpragueDawley rats. Fifty were treated with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) (with EDTA as a vehicle), ten were treated with EDTA only, and ten were untreated normal rats. The tumors were histogenetically divided ...

AIMS The present study aimed to examine the feasibility of detecting vimentin (VIM) methylation in the serum of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and to determine the effectiveness of a relatively simple, inexpensive, and non-invasive test performed in combination with the conventional carcinoembryonic antigen analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS VIM methylation in the serum DNA of 242 patient...

This study was to investigate whether the time to the lowest postoperative CEA can predict cancer survival. We enrolled 155 rectal cancer patients in this retrospective and longitudinal cohort study. Deepness of response (DpR) of CEA refers to the relative change of the lowest postoperative CEA level from baseline, and time to DpR (TTDpR) refers to the time from surgery to the lowest postoperat...

Objective: Histopathological overexpression of folate receptor-1 (FOLR1) involved in transport cell growth has been reported various cancers. Increased serum FOLR1(sFOLR1) also epithelial ovarian cancer. The aim was to investigate sFOLR1 levels non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and the response prediction standard chemotherapy targeting folic acid metabolism.
 Method: In this prospect...

We attempt to study the efficacy and adverse reactions of carboplatin, nab-paclitaxel regimen combined with atezolizumab in non-small cell lung cancer treatment. randomly selected 120 patients who received therapy our hospital from January 2019 December 2021 divided them into two groups, 60 cases respectively. Treated control group carboplatin paclitaxel pembrolizumab, while observation albumin...

Congenital gingival granular cell tumor is a rare benign lesion of uncertain origin, which has been found only in newborn infants. This article describes one such case. Our immunohistochemical study employing antibodies against S-100 protein, epithelial membrane antigen, carcinoembryonic antigen, wide-spectrum keratin, desmin and vimentin yielded data supporting the theory of a mesenchymal cell...

We report the case of a 57-year-old patient with multiple myeloma, characterized by extramedullary involvement of the rectum at presentation. Malignant plasma cells were found to produce carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), a tumor antigen more commonly associated with rectal adenocarcinomas.
