The tumor markers carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA), and carbohydrate antigen 1919 (CA19/9) have been compared with regard to their sensitivity to liver diseases. All three markers have been found to be sensitive to liver diseases, but to a different degree: TPA rises

The authors studied data of combination assays of tumor markers, because simultaneous elevation of different types of tumor markers in the serum was puzzling. They interpreted such phenomena regarding cancer antigen 125, carcinoernbryonic antigen, and carbohydrate determinant 19-9 in ovarian tumors.
Pretreatment serum levels of the tumor markers carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA 50, and CA 19-9 in 95 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus and 32 age-matched controls were compared. Thirty-nine percent of the cancer patients showed elevated ( 2 5 Wgg/l) serum CEA levels, 41% had
