  • Title: [A case of immunohistochemically carcinoembryonic antigen producing cervical cancer--the evaluation of plasma CEA levels in 201 patients with uterine cancer].

    Abstract:
    A case of a cervical cancer in a 40-year-old woman with a plasma carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level of 29.4 ng/ml was investigated using light and electron microscopy. In addition, the plasma CEA levels before treatment were determined in 168 patients with cervical cancer and in 33 patients with endometrial cancer. CEA was found to be elevated in the plasma of 19% of those with cervical cancer and in 6% of those with endometrial cancer. Effective serial plasma CEA determinations following therapy, in patients whose plasma or tumors initially contain elevated amounts of antigen, might be useful as an adjunctive method in the earlier detection of a recurrent cancer.
