Monitoring cancer biomarkers is of great significance in clinical diagnosis. In this work, a label-free MWCNTs-COOH/CuNi-BTC/FTO electrochemical immunosensor was developed to quantitatively detect carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The bimetallic CuNi-BTC showed enhanced current than singe Ni-BTC, and the addition of the MWCNTs-COOH increased the conductivity and further amplified the current signal. The electrode was further modified with CEA antigen (Ag) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used to block the non-specific binding sites. Using the emplified current signal of CuNi-BTC, CEA was detected by a DPV method through the current change caused by the specific recognition reaction of Ag and Ab. Under optimal conditions, a range of 0.80-140 ng/mL and a detection limit of 0.046 ng/mL for CEA was obtained. This electrochemical immunosensor possessed good selectivity, reproducibility and long-term stability.

Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate whether preoperative or postoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) with a new cut-off value is more optimal for predicting long-term outcomes in patients with Stage II/III rectal cancer, and to investigate the effectiveness of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (POAC) based on the CEA values.
Methods: Serum CEA levels were measured preoperatively (pre-CEA) and postoperatively (post-CEA). The area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC) was used to determine a cut-off for CEA.

Introduction Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most frequent cancers in the United States. There are recognized guidelines for monitoring after curative CRC excision. This study looks into the rate of compliance with surveillance guidelines following CRC resection, as well as the impact of demographic characteristics.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are biomacromolecules known as cancer and inflammatory markers. Thus, they play a crucial role in early cancer diagnosis, post-treatment recurrence detection, and tumor risk assessment. This paper describes the development of an ultrasensitive and selective imprinted paper-based analytical device (PAD) as impedance sensor for determination of CEA and CRP in serum samples for point-of-care testing (POCT).

Background: A positive pathologic retroperitoneal surgical resection margin in the retroperitonealized colon is reported to predict distant metastases. However, no studies have investigated retroperitoneal surgical resection margin positivity on computed tomography colonography and its prognostic significance.
Methods: Patients who underwent primary resection for ascending or descending colon cancer at our institution between 2013 and 2018 were retrospectively evaluated (n = 206).
