title: [Carcinoembryonic antigen: Comparison of radioimmunoassay and enzyme immunoassay in postoperative surveillance of patients with carcinoma of the colon or rectum (author's transl)].
abstract: In the recent time measurement of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) has gained increasing importance in post-operative surveillance of patients having been operated upon because of colorectal carcinomas. Simple routine laboratory procedures are needed therefore. CEA was measured in 230 patients; it is demonstrated, that the results obtained by conventional radioimmunoassay are accurate and precise. In addition the specimens were measured by an enzyme immunoassay. Results of both assays coincided rather well. Since the enzyme immunoassay is much easier to perform it is to be prefered as a routine laboratory procedure.
