Serial determinations of plasma carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were assayed for 34 patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer undergoing 5-fluorouracil and mitomycin C combination chemotherapy. 21 patients (62%) had an objective response and the CEA level was decreased in 12. After chemotherapy was initiated a rise in CEA level occurred on the average 6.5 months later, while the mean time to clinical relapse was 8 months. 5 patients (15%) had stable disease; the CEA level was decreased in 2. In 8 patients (24%) with progressive disease, the mean time for a rising CEA level was 3 months. In our view, a change in the CEA level reflects the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer.
对34例接受5-氟尿嘧啶和丝裂霉素C联合化疗的晚期胃肠道癌患者进行了血浆癌胚抗原(CEA)水平的系列测定。21例患者(62%)有客观反应,其中12例CEA水平下降。化疗开始后,CEA水平平均在6.5个月后升高,而临床复发的平均时间为8个月。5例患者(15%)病情稳定,其中2例CEA水平下降。在8例病情进展的患者(24%)中,CEA水平升高的平均时间为3个月。我们认为,CEA水平的变化反映了联合化疗对晚期胃肠道癌患者的疗效。
