ABSTRACT
The assays of serum CEA is a useful prognostic marker in patients with stomach cancer. In this study pre-operative serum CEA and tissue CEA in tumour or biopsy were assayed in a group of patients with gastric carcinoma in order to assess their prognostic roles. Based on an analysis of the results the authors affirm that high serum CEA levels in patients with advanced stages of stomach cancer indicate a fatal prognosis, and likewise the finding of tissue CEA in loco-regional lymph nodes at the same concentration as that in the primary tumour is also the sign of a severe prognosis.
