Abstract: Elevated preoperative serum CEA and tumor VEGF were predictors of poor prognosis for patients with SCC.

“…Although serum microRNA has been used to evaluate early COAD, its diagnostic advantages are not very competitive compared with other non-invasive tests [ 8 ]. Colonoscopy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of COAD, but it has not been widely used due to its high cost and invasiveness [ 9 , 10 ]. Serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is an important tumor marker for COAD diagnosis and postoperative monitoring, but in some clinical trials, the positive rate of serum CEA in patients is less than 50% [ 11 , 12 ].…”

“…Common biomarkers of CRC, such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) of TMs, have the merits of simplicity, availability, and robustness. They are generated and released during tumorigenesis, and can potentially reflect tumor changes at cellular levels (7,8). However, TMs are mostly tumorrelated, and host-related factors as markers are less reported.…”

“…Serum tumor markers are produced and released during tumorigenesis and the levels of serum tumor markers may be indicative of tumor growth (Jo et al, 2013). Many valuable studies had suggested that preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels could be used as independent risk factors to estimate the prognosis of CRC patients (Chen et al, 2017;Kozman et al, 2018;Peng et al, 2015). However, the high rate of serum CEA in CRC patients was less than 50% in some clinical trials (Huang et al, 2017(Huang et al, , 2018Shinkins et al, 2017).…”
