One year survival rate in patients with carcinoma of the lung treated with split course irradiation: correlation with serum value of carcinoembryonic antigen. [Linear accelerator]

Journal Article · · Int. J. Radiat. Oncol., Biol. Phys.; (United States)
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) radio immune assay was performed in 51 patients with lung carcinoma before and at various times after loco-regional radiotherapy. Increase of CEA level correlated with metastasis or progression of the disease; decrease in CEA levels reflected significant regression or stabilization of the disease.
