title: [Carcinoembryonic antigen in a review of cases in the literature].
abstract: Literature analysis of CEA serum levels tested in 21,147 patients, with non neoplastic and neoplastic disease of various organs, are reported. The sensitivity, the specificity, the positive and negative prognostic trend and the effective value of test in different pathologic situations are evaluated on the basis of organ localization and embryological origin.
