A raised level of CEA-like substance has been demonstrated by radioimmunoassay in the urine of patients with bladder carcinoma, in concentrations which increase with a more advanced stage, and in serum of patients with advanced disease. In a 2-year follow-up of patients receiving chemotherapy, a cor
## Abstract Urine samples collected from patients with colon carcinoma and from normal donors were tested for antigenic activity by the microcomplement fixation assay. When autologous serum was used as the antibody source, 65.4% (17/26) of the urine samples from patients with colon carcinoma were p
Background. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) does not appear to have the specificity to distinguish between benign prostate hyperplasia and cancer when the PSA is low. PSA density is thought by many to improve the specificity for cancer; however, this theory remains controversial. Methods. The autho
