271例非大腸腺癌的惡性腫瘤中,血清癌胚胎抗原測大於3.5ng/ml 的,有104例佔38.38%。其中之消化道腫瘤有118例,63例血清癌胚胎抗原測值,呈異常升高佔53.39%; 116例女性生殖器官腫瘤中,血清胚胎抗原測值超過3.5ng/ml的,有28例佔24.14%: 37例其他部位腫瘤患者中,有35.14%(13例)血清癌胚胎抗原測值,大於3.5ng/ml。 總之,血清癌胚胎抗原測值,在許多非大腸腺癌的惡性腫瘤中,亦有升高的現象,在惡性腫瘤的早期診斷上,無法做為常規的篩檢工具,在惡性腫瘤的鑑別診斷上,亦少有價值。
In the study of 271 cases of non-colonic cancer, serum CEA levels have been detected. The assay shows abnormality in 63 of 118 cases (53.4%) of G-I tract cancer, 28 of 116 cases (24.14%) of Gyn. cancer and 13 of 37 cases (35.1%) in other organ’s neogrowths. Raised serum levels of CEA occur in many non-colonic cancers. The present method of estimating CEA may be not helpful, which is applied as preliminary screening tests for the detection of cancer and differential diagnosis of neoplastic disorders.
