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 کاملCarcinoembryonic antigen in thyroid disease.
Plasma carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were measured by the Z-Gel technique in 138 patients with benign thyroidopathies, 25 patients with thyroid cancer, and 141 normal persons. Levels were raised (above 5 ng/ml) in 2% of the normal subjects, in none of the patients with benign thyroidopathies, and in 20% of the patients with thyroid cancer. They were considerably raised in all cases of m...
متن کاملSerum carcinoembryonic antigen improves accuracy in differentiating autoimmune pancreatitis from early-stage pancreatic cancer
Background and aims: Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is an IgG4-related disease that is prone to be misdiagnosed as pancreatic cancer (PC) because of similar clinical symptoms and imaging appearance. Serum IgG4 has helped much in the differentiation of the two diseases, but its diagnostic sensitivity and specificity are still not very satisfactory. Methods: In this work, 82 AIP and 160 stage IA a...
متن کاملCarcinoembryonic Antigen Gene Family
The carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) gene family belongs to the immunoglobulin supergene family and can be divided into two main subgroups based on sequence comparisons. In humans it is clustered on the long arm of chromosome 19 and consists of approximately 20 genes. The CEA subgroup genes code for CEA and its classical crossreacting antigens, which are mainly membrane-bound, whereas the other s...
