Serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) concentrations were found to be raised in 28 of 72 black patients (39%) with hepatocellular cancer (HCC). The degree of elevation was slight or moderate, except in 3 patients in whom values greater than 20 ng/ml were recorded. No significant correlation could be demonstrated in individual patients between the serum CEA concentration and various tests of liver function. The mean CEA value in the patients with cirrhosis in the non-tumorous liver was slightly higher than that in those without cirrhosis, but the difference did not reach statistical significance. There was no correlation between serum CEA and alpha-foetoprotein (AFP) levels.
在72例黑人肝细胞癌(HCC)患者中,有28例(39%)血清癌胚抗原(CEA)浓度升高。除3例患者CEA值超过20 ng/ml外,其余患者CEA升高程度为轻度或中度。血清CEA浓度与各项肝功能检查之间在个体患者中未显示出显著相关性。非肿瘤性肝脏有肝硬化的患者CEA均值略高于无肝硬化的患者,但差异无统计学意义。血清CEA与甲胎蛋白(AFP)水平之间无相关性。
