title: [The informativeness of immunoenzyme analysis in cancer of the gastrointestinal tract].
abstract: Carcinoma-associated antigen (CA) 19-9, carcinofetal and mucinoid antigens are the optimal combination of markers for the diagnosis and monitoring of the course of gastric, colonic, and rectal carcinomas. CA-125 and alpha-fetal protein antigen are but fourth-stage markers for carcinomas of these sites. Neuron-specific antigen may be used for the differential diagnosis of pancreatic diseases. The findings evidence no strict specificity of the markers used in the study.
