First experiences with the use of CASA in mammary carcinoma.
The expression of the tumor marker CASA (cancer associated serum antigen) was studied in patients with mammary carcinoma; increased values were almost exclusively seen in cases of manifest metastasis. No correlation existed between tumor stage, lymph node involvement and grading. Marker levels were tested by means of enzyme-immune-assay of the firm medac (Hamburg), with a cut-off value set at 4 U/ml.
