title: [Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in the blood serum of patients with bronchogenic carcinoma and selected diseases of the respiratory tract].
abstract: The serum-CEA (S-CEA) levels were assessed in different lung diseases. The highest levels were seen in lung cancer. Elevated levels of S-CEA were also seen in pneumonia which decreased after withdrawal of inflammatory changes. S-CEA in sarcoidosis pulmonary tuberculosis and chronic bronchitis did not exceed the upper normal limits. Serum CEA can be used to monitor therapy of lung cancer.
