摘要: The usefulness of the determination carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in pleural effusion was assessed as an aid to diagnosis malignant mesothelioma. concentration CEA determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA) fluid 213 adult patients, which 140 had disease and 73 nonmalignant disease. Pleural (PF CEA) lower than 12 ng/ml all 15 mesotheliomas. statistical probability a mesothelioma associated with PF greater found be zero. assay proved valuable adjunct other diagnostic procedures differentiating from metastatic serosal spread.
