Serum CEA levels in a human colonic adenocarcinoma (LOVO) xenograft system.
The relationship between tumor size and circulating CEA titers was examined for a human colonic adenocarcinoma xenografted in Balb/C athymic mice. Xenograft material was derived from line LoVo, which produces moderate amounts of CEA, both in vitro and in vivo. No correlation was found between tumor size and serum CEA levels.
