Results There was no significant difference in gender, age, hepatitis B history, serum AFP
level or lesion location. Patients with liver metastases had a tendency to have higher serum …

No evidence currently exists to demonstrate the prognostic value of serum carcinoembryonic
antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) in patients with unresectable …

Results CEA elevation correlated to advanced age (> or= 60 years), and CA19-9 elevation
correlated with the site (colon) of primary tumor. Univariate analysis showed that treatment …

Liver metastases of colorectal cancer can be operated with a curative intent in selected
cases. However, more than half of the patients have a recurrence. The aim of this study was …

Objective This paper aims to explore the diagnostic value of enhanced magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) combined with a carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen …

Tumor markers are elevated in a variety of nonneoplastic clinical situations, including liver
diseases. Their sensitivity and specificity are lower for tumor screening in these cases. In this …

The clinical significance of preoperative levels of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)
and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) was evaluated in patients with colorectal …

Methods The clinicopathologic factors and follow-up data of 197 patients with liver
metastases from colorectal cancer, treated from Jan. 1996 to Dec. 2000, were analyzed …

OBJECTIVE: Liver is the primary site for the metastasis from colorectal cancer (CRC). It has
been proposed that carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) might have an instrumental role in the …

Aim: Previous studies have examined levels of CEA and CA 19-9 in esophageal cancer
patients, but have not determined a significant relationship between CEA and CA 19-9 …
