Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is among the earliest identified tumor markers and remains extensively utilized in the diagnosis and management of colorectal cancer. The detection of CEA presents considerable challenges in the field of analytical chemistry, given its complexity. The most prevalent detection approach is the immunoassay, including the chemiluminescence immunoassay commonly employed in clinical settings; however, discrepancies between various methods persist. Mass spectrometry-based techniques offer enhanced accuracy as they circumvent matrix interference. Nonetheless, the intricate nature of proteins continues to pose significant challenges. This paper reviews recent advancements in CEA detection technologies, examines their clinical application potential from two key platforms, and addresses the standardization process of CEA detection. This paper highlights the importance of developing rapid and precise methods for CEA analysis in complex matrices and their standardization.

Objectives: To assess the prognostic impact of adequate lymphadenectomy and determine the optimal nodal assessment for different clinical stages of lung cancer.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1214 patients with clinical stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer who had preoperative PET/CT and curative surgery (2006-2017). Patients were categorized based on whether they had adequate [R0] or inadequate lymphadenectomy [R(un)].

Purpose: The aim was to study the predictive model and validate serum ovarian tumor-related biomarkers for ovarian cancer histograms.

Method: We randomly selected 181 patients with ovarian tumors and 80 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations from the hospital's medical record information system as the study participants. Clinical data and detection results of ovarian tumor-related markers such as serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), and human epididymal protein (HE4) were collected from all study participants for analysis.

Biosens Bioelectron

March 2025

Key Laboratory for Analytical Science of Food Safety and Biology (MOE & Fujian Province), Department of Chemistry, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou, 350108, PR China. Electronic address:

Nanozyme-based electrochemical biosensors have emerged as an alternative to enzyme-based biosensors for next-generation bioanalysis. However, potential antibody modifications limit the catalytic sites of the nanozyme, thereby reducing sensor sensitivity. Here, a sensitive method for determining carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was developed.
