    Abstract:
    An 85-year-old male with asymptomatic gross hematuria was diagnosed with invasive bladder tumor, transitional cell carcinoma grade 3. Serum levels of CEA and CA19-9 were elevated and histological examination revealed expression of both markers in the cytoplasm of cancer cells. Out of therapeutic options, intra-arterial chemotherapy and radiotherapy were selected because of his age. During the treatment, serum levels of CEA and CA19-9 decreased along with reduction of tumor size. These serum markers have been reported to be elevated in 10 to 60% of patients with bladder tumor and are useful markers for evaluation of the treatment as suggested in the present case.
