[Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and mucinous-like tumor associated antigen (MAC). Statistic correlation in advanced breast carcinoma].

In this study we have determined the plasmatic values of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and mucinous like tumor associated antigen (MCA) in 20 women with metastatic breast cancer. CEA and MCA were determined by enzyme immunoassay technique. The results were analyzed by test r for the statement of statistical correlation. Since r was inferior to p 5% (r = 0.3255; p = 0.4438) the 2 parameters are not correlated and their biological expression must be considered independent.
