title: [Usefulness of the determination of CEA and Ca 19-9 in the diagnosis and staging of bronchial carcinoma].
abstract: The value of CEA and Ca 19-9 assays in the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer is examined. The particular sensitivity of CEA especially in extensive or metastasised tumours is demonstrated. The minimal sensitivity of Ca 19-9 is pointed out but also its absolute specificity in high risk control groups (smokers and BPCO). It is therefore concluded that Ca 19-9 might be used together with CEA in the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer.
