[Colorectal carcinoma: significance of the tumor marker].
The comparison between carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and novel mucin or mucin-like tumour markers in colorectal cancer still favours CEA with regard to sensitivity and specificity. While not contributing to screening and primary diagnostic procedures, its value as a prognostic marker including preoperative staging and post-surgical follow-up, has been well established.
