Serum CEA as a predictive marker for distant metastasis in non small cell lung cancer

Abstract :
Tumour marker (glycoprotein) are substances that are produced by cancer or by other cells (normal) of the body in response to cancer. No “universal” tumor marker that can detect any type of cancer has been found. More recently, patterns of gene expression and changes to DNA have also begun to be used as tumour markers. CEA has higher sensitivity for adeno carcinoma of lung and other adenocarcinoma jn advanced stages. A high preoperative serum CEA level is always associated with worst outcome in relation to post–operative survival, relapse or metastasis. Serum CEA level might be a useful predictor of survival for patients with early stage NSCLC.
