title: Clinical significance of plasma lipid-bound sialic acid (LBSA) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in gynaecologic cancer patients.
abstract: A comparison between plasma lipid-bound sialic acid (LBSA) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in gynaecologic cancer patients has been performed. The LBSA level appears more specific then the CEA, especially for ovarian cancer. This finding has promoted a longitudinal study to show if LBSA test may prove a reliable marker of disease in ovarian cancer patients.
