Oncology, 2016 Objectives: Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is widely used for postoperative surveillance of colon cancer. Even if serum CEA is negative at initial surgery, it may turn positive at recurrence.

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.This study examined the effects of skeletal muscle mass on the short‐ and long‐term outcomes of rectal cancer. This study revealed that preoperative sarcopenia was associated with more total postoperative complications, more anastomotic leakage, and worse survival in rectal cancer patients.

Canalization of the evolutionary trajectory of the human influenza virus [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 Since its emergence in 1968, influenza A (H3N2) has evolved extensively in genotype and antigenic phenotype. Antigenic evolution occurs in the context of a two-dimensional 'antigenic map', while genetic evolution shows a characteristic ladder-like genealogical tree. Here, we use a large-scale individual-based model to show that evolution in a Euclidean

Biochemical markers in cancer of the ovary : a review [PDF]
, 1990 The ideal tumour marker would be one which is detectable before obvious clinical involvement. A number of biochemical markers have been used to diagnose carcinoma of the ovary.

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.The body component score (BCS) consists of three key elements: skeletal muscle, bodily fat, and ectopic fat. BCS can comprehensively represent the states of body composition and predict the long‐term survival of resectable colorectal cancer following radical resection.

Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor Presenting with Elevating Carcinoembryonic Antigen
Journal of Cancer Research and Practice, 2014 Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is a rare disease and mostly diagnosed in children and young adults. This tumor is presumed to be of neuroectodermal origin, probably developing from migrating embryonic cells of the neural crest.

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.This retrospective study evaluates the prognostic factors in patients undergoing curative hepatic resection for rectal cancer liver metastases. It identifies lateral lymph node metastasis and perineural invasion as significant prognostic factors. Moreover, patients with these factors required nonsurgical treatment in the early postoperative period ...

Carcinoembryonic Antigen Serum Levels in Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer
Biomedicines, 2018 Background: Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a glycoprotein, which is present in the foetal colon, some benign conditions and different malignancies, particularly in colon adenocarcinoma. We focused this study on non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). NMSC is

cDNA Cloning Demonstrates the Expression of Pregnancy-Specific Glycoprotein Genes, a Subgroup of the Carcinoembryonic Antigen Gene Family, in Fetal Liver [PDF]
, 1989 The pregnancy-specific glycoprotein (PSG) genes constitute a subgroup of the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) gene family. Here we report the cloning of four cDNAs coding for different members of the PSG family from a human fetal liver cDNA library.

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.Preoperative GPS2 is an independent poor prognostic factor in patients with colorectal cancer and synchronous peritoneal metastases, and surgical resection does not improve prognosis in patients with GPS2. Preoperative GPSs may be used as indicators for surgical resection of synchronous peritoneal metastases.
