The carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were determined in 42 breast cancer patients at I, II, III, IV stages of TNM classification. Plasmatic preoperative CEA levels was under 6 ng/ml in the 94% of patients. The postoperative CEA levels of six patients who developed metastases during the follow-up was elevated in five cases, but the elevation never preceded the clinical and radiological diagnosis of metastases.
在42例处于TNM分期I、II、III、IV期的乳腺癌患者中测定了癌胚抗原（CEA）水平。94%的患者术前血浆CEA水平低于6 ng/ml。随访期间发生转移的6例患者中，有5例术后CEA水平升高，但CEA升高从未先于转移的临床和影像学诊断出现。
