[Correlation of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and serum and tissue alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in malignant tumors of the female genital tract].
The Authors have carried out determinations of AFP in the serum and of CEA in serum and in surgically removed tissue of 67 patients with genital tract's malignant tumors. As the results obtained among values of pre and post operatory CEA and tissue concentrations are incongruous, they believe useful, within the monitoring of patients with gynecological cancer, dosing CEA in the serum and also on the surgical section trying to reduce so the minimum positive false and negative false. Finally the repeated dosage of these antigens allows to follow the local replaced or the metastasis after some month, before the symptoms are clear.
