CEA tissue staining in colorectal cancer patients. A way to improve the usefulness of serial serum CEA evaluation.

abstract：:Because we found it illogical to attempt measurement of nonmeasurable but visible tumors in patients with advanced lung cancer, we devised and used a separate set of response criteria for patients with evaluable, nonmeasurable tumors. Patients with evaluable disease who had obtained a tumor regression after therapy we...
