title: [Determination of carcinoembryonic antigen in urine and in gastric secretions].
abstract: The diagnostic significance of the identification of carcinoembryonic antigens in the serum, urine and gastric secretions of patients with malignant neoplasms is considered. In the subjects tested, CEA levels in the serum and gastric secretion were certainly diagnostically indicative. Increases in urinary CEA levels were however minimal, even lower than those encountered during urinary inflammations.
