title: [Protein studies in cystic and peritoneal fluids of ovarian tumors with special reference to CEA].
abstract: The levels of total protein, Ig, AFP, beta-HCG, CEA, SC, SP1 and alpha 2-PAG were measured in cystic and peritoneal effusions obtained from 70 females with benign and malignant ovarian tumors. This study was carried out to test out parameters those are useful for tumor monitoring of ovarian cancer. Our results indicate that determining CEA in peritoneal effusions could be one of useful methods in tumor monitoring of mucinous cystadenocarcinomas in cases of known histology and praetherapeutic estimated CEA levels in cystic or peritoneal effusions. Our results demonstrate that CEA-levels greater than 100 micrograms/l are mostly found in mucinous cystadenocarcinomas and in mucinous cystadenomas, too. High cystic CEA levels support the histology aiming for demonstration of mucinous component.
