Immunohistochemical staining for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was performed on primary tumors and regional lymph nodes from 100 patients undergoing radical hysterectomies and pelvic lymphadenectomies for invasive carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Antigen staining was present in 82% of keratinizing
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Optimal timing of the measurement of serum squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen during radiation therapy (RT) and its significance for predicting the response of cervical carcinoma patients as early as possible remain unknown. ## METHODS Sixtyβthree patients with SCC o
Immunoperoxidase staining for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was performed on the tumors of 241 patients with invasive carcinoma of the cervix. Positive tissue staining indicative of a CEA concentration of at least 3 pg/gm was present in 154 tumors (63%) as opposed to 0 of 30 specimens of normal cer
