Background It is generally believed that the preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen
(CEA) and squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) levels are independent predictors of …

Background Previous studies have evaluated the clinicopathological significance of
carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) of esophageal cancer in relatively small numbers of …
