Eighty-two patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal (GI) adenocarcinoma were evaluated before and for 26 months after primary tumor resection for the presence of two serum tumor markers: tumor-associated glycoprotein-72 (TAG-72) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Elevated TAG-72 and CEA serum level
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. The authors assessed the predictive and prognostic role of decline in the serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA 21β1) during chemotherapy in patients with advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ## METHODS. Changes in ser
