Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) expression in colorectal tumors and its potential correlation with preoperative plasma CEA levels, tumor features, and patient survival.
- Forty-seven patients with colorectal carcinoma were analyzed; preoperative CEA levels averaged 15.4 ng/mL, with the majority of tumors located in the colon, and immunohistochemical analysis revealed a predominance of apical CEA distribution.
- Statistical analysis included various methods, revealing classifications of tumor stages according to Duke's classification, and patient survival was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method for potential insights into prognosis based on CEA expression and other factors.
