  • Title: Plasma levels of carcinoembryonic antigen in bronchial carcinoma and chronic bronchitis.
    Author: Pauwels R, Van der Straeten M.
    Journal: Thorax; 1975 Oct; 30(5):560-2. PubMed ID: 1198397.
    Abstract:
    The plasma levels of carcinoembryonic antigen were increased in 80% of 49 patients with bronchial carcinoma and in 68% of 25 patients with an acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. A single determination of the plasma carcinoembryonic antigen level has no prognostic value in patients with bronchial carcinoma.
