[Distribution and prognostic value of CEA and TPA in cancer of the lung].
Serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA) were investigated in 53 lung cancer patients. The higher percentage of patients with serum CEA positivity was observed within the anaplastic lung cancer group. TPA serum positivity was found in similar percentage in all the examined groups. Relationship between serum CEA positivity and/or serum TPA positivity and survival were then carried out.
