AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined 86 lung cancer patients and found an inverse relationship between life-span and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels.
- A CEA level above 10 micrograms/l is linked to a poor prognosis for patients.
- The amount and speed of CEA excretion are reliable indicators for assessing the effectiveness of lung cancer treatments.
Article Abstract
Correlation analysis of the results of examination of 86 lung cancer patients treated by surgery and methods other than surgery established an inverse relationship between life-span and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level. An analysis using reagents supplied by CEA-IRE-Sorin Company showed that a CEA level in blood in excess of 10 micrograms/l is associated with the most unfavorable prognosis. The degree and rate of CEA excretion are in direct correlation with life-span and provide the most reliable criterion in evaluating the effectiveness of lung cancer treatment.
