Follow-up consisted of physical examination, carcinoembryonicantigen levels, and chest-abdominal-pelvic CT scan.
2
Experimental design: Thirty-five patients with carcinoembryonicantigen-expressing tumors were included.
3
Immunohistochemical stains in all six cases were positive for cytokeratin and negative for carcinoembryonicantigen.
4
In addition, carcinoembryonicantigen expression in the tumor and its level in serum were investigated.
5
Cyst fluid analysis for amylase and carcinoembryonicantigen aids in the preoperative classification of pancreatic cysts.
6
A patient with colorectal cancer had an 80% decrement in the levels of carcinoembryonicantigen.
7
Conclusions: These results indicate that microscopic necrosis, Ki-67 labeling index, and serum carcinoembryonicantigen level are predictors of nodal involvement.
8
Preoperative carcinoembryonicantigen level, positive margin of resection, and the presence of extrahepatic disease independently predicted survival on multivariate analysis.
9
His serum carcinoembryonicantigen level decreased promptly and abdominal computed tomography showed apparent shrinkage of the metastatic pelvic node with calcification.
10
Here we quantitatively assess the internalization of antibodies and antibody fragments against the commonly targeted antigen carcinoembryonicantigen (CEA).
11
Methods: Our follow-up program for lung metastasis includes a serum carcinoembryonicantigen assay every two months and chest radiography every six months.
12
Patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal occasionally present with an elevated level of carcinoembryonicantigen (CEA) in serum.
13
There were no significant differences between the 2 groups with regard to tumor location, TNM staging, tumor differentiation, carcinoembryonicantigen, and vascular invasion.
14
Pretreatment levels of carcinoembryonicantigen (CEA) correlate well with the extent of disease in squamous cell and adenocarcinoma of the cervix.
15
SAP-1 is mapped to chromosome 19 region q13.4 and might be related to carcinoembryonicantigen mapped to 19q13.2.
16
Patients with a rising serum carcinoembryonicantigen level and no clinical or roentgenographic evidence of recurrent or metastatic cancer present a treatment dilemma.
