A Prospective Study of Serum Carcinoembryonic Antigen in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Colorectal Cancer and Healthy Individuals

Abstract: Aims: Studies have shown that serum levels of tumor markers are influenced by several factors. The present study has assessed the effect of smoking, age, sex and on elevated levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) among the healthy individuals, and has compared it in patients with newly diagnosed colorectal cancer. Methods:Our experimental study was conducted on 800 cases in Iran. We had two parallel groups including 675 normal cases and 125 patients with colorectal cancer. The quantitative measurement of CEA… Show more

“…There are several studies on the interaction of the CEA tumor marker with colorectal cancer. CEA is a tumor marker that is overexpressed, especially in colorectal cancer, and there are many conflicting findings about the sensitivity and usefulness of this tumor marker (19,20). The percentages of the individuals included in the reference range of 7 different gene and biomarkers were compared (see Figure II).…”
