摘要: There are principally two types of epithelial tumor markers: (1) Normal cell products with known functional properties which may appear in increased or reduced amounts during malignant development; and (2) So-called oncodevelopmental antigens. The latter markers mainly expressed fetal life but neoplastic lesions. Examples such antigens alpha fetoprotein (AFP) carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). In the present chapter, however, only former category will be included discussion limited to salivary glands, breast large bowel mucosa.
