โœฆ Synopsis

Monthly serial postoperative CEA determinations, three-monthly system review plus physical examination, and a battery of six-monthly laboratory and radiologic tests were compared in order to evaluate each in detection of recurrent colorectal cancer. Twelve of the 33 patients studied prospectively developed recurrent disease. In this study CEA was found not to be a substitute for careful clinical follow-up, but if used in a serial manner it was a useful adjunct for detection of early recurrent cancer, especially intra-hepatic and retroperitoneal disease recurring in patients with elevated pretreatment CEA levels. The other laboratory and radiologic tests employed were often useful to confirm progressing disease, but they did not reveal any first evidence of recurrent disease.

The development of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to tumour-associated antigens has allowed the successful radioimmunolocalization of a variety of tumours and has provided a basis for targeted therapy. In patients with colorectal cancer, antibodies to CEA have been the most widely used for imaging, bu

In the study, radioimmunoassay for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was used in 75 patients with female genital cancer, who were followed u p on a longterm basis. These patients were assessed for the following disease status a t each visit: free of disease, residual disease, or recurrence of disease.
