  • Title: Carcinoembryonic antigen in human ovarian neoplasms.
    Author: Marchand A, Fenoglio CM, Pascal R, Richart RM, Bennett S.
    Journal: Cancer Res; 1975 Dec; 35(12):3807-10. PubMed ID: 1192434.
    Abstract:
    The presence and location of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was examined in tissue sections of 14 mucinous and 13 serous cystadenomas and cystadenocarcinomas of the ovary. CEA was demonstrated in the mucinous tumors but was not present in the serous tumors. In the mucinous tumors, CEA was located in the glycocalyx and apical portions of the absorptive-type epithelium, with only trace quantities in goblet cells, a pattern identical to that seen in colonic neoplasms. Endocervical-type epithelium in the mucinous tumors contained little or no CEA.
