| ABSTRACT |
Background: The role of serum carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) as a tumor marker in primary lung cancer remains unanswered. Several reports suggested that usefulness of serum CEA was limited to specific histologic types or clinical situations.
Method:
Serum levels of CEA were determined in 126 patients with primary lung cancer and its correlation with clinico-pathologic characteristics was investigated.
Results:
Serum CEA was positive (defined as>5ng/ml) in 71 patients(56.3%). The positivity of serum CEA was significantly higher in adenocarcinoma(72.3%) than that in squamous cell carcinoma(46.5%) and small cell carcinoma(44.0%) (p=0.025). There was no significant difference in positivity of CEA according to sex and stages. Conelueion: Serum CEA does not seem to be standard tumor marker of primary lung cancer. However, it could be useful as prognostic factor or monitor of treatment results, especially in adenocarcinoma. |
