Abstract

On the basis of more than 3,000 tests carried out on 1,561 patients suffering from suspected or certain malignant tumours, the authors established the necessity of CEA test in post-operative follow-ups, according to the plentiful literature regarding this matter. New tumoral markers led the authors to verify if it was useful to associate the ferritin to CEA test. From the results and the statistical data, they concluded that it was useful to associate the two markers only in negative CEA test when confronted with clinical suspected metastatic diffusion.
