Carcinoembryonic Antigen, Arginine Vasopressin and Calcitonin as Markers of Early Small-Cell Lung Cancer Relapse
Abstract
Patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) underwent serial blood monitoring during remission: 66 were tested for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and calcitonin (CTN), including 40 who were concomitantly tested for arginine vasopression (AVP) as well. 83% of the patients had at least one assay elevated prior to induction therapy. By serial monitoring, blood concentrations reflected disease course and reached lowest levels at remission. CEA, AVP …
