One year survival rate in patients with carcinoma of the lung treated with split course irradiation: Correlation with serum value of carcinoembryonic antigen

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) radio immune assay was performed in 51 patients with lung carcinoma before and at various times after loco-regional radiotherapy. Increase of CEA level correlated with metastasis or progression of the disease; decrease in CEA levels reflected significant regression or...

More Information
Summary:Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) radio immune assay was performed in 51 patients with lung carcinoma before and at various times after loco-regional radiotherapy. Increase of CEA level correlated with metastasis or progression of the disease; decrease in CEA levels reflected significant regression or stabilization of the disease.
