title: [Preoperative determination of CEA and GICA in gastric neoplasms].
abstract: Data are presented on a series of 39 stomach cancer patients subjected to preoperative assays of blood CEA and GICA. High levels of both markers were found in the advanced (stage III and IV) cases. The use of both markers together improved the sensitivity of the test but only to 30%. Nevertheless preoperative CEA and GICA assays are recommended because of the information they provide about tumor stage.
