Vedat Goral et al. Hepatogastroenterology. 2007 Jun.

Abstract

Background/aims: The place of CA 72-4, a new tumor marker in the prognosis of stomach cancer were studied,

Methodology: Endoscopically and histologically diagnosed 47 gastric patients were studied. CEA, CA 19-9, CA 125, CA 15-3, CA 72-4 levels were measured.

Results: We determined that serum CA 72-4 level in the group with cancer was significantly elevated. In patients particularly having liver metastases, CA 72-4 level was found to be greater.

Conclusions: We are of the opinion that serum CA 72-4 level is a valuable parameter in the prognosis of stomach cancer.
