[Carcinoembryonic antigen in the evaluation of the effectiveness of surgical treatment in cancer of the rectum].
The carcinoembryonic antigen content (CEA) was studied in 163 patients who had been subjected to surgical treatment. The content of antigen in blood plasma was determined by the radioassay. It is shown that a high pre- and postoperative CEA level may be indicative of the spread of the neoplastic process, nonradical character of the treatment, and an unfavourable prognosis.
