Abstract:
Over the past ten years numerous studies have been carried out to identify tumour markers able to diagnose cancer of the digestive tract. The paper reports the combined use of some markers (CEA, TPA, GICA, CA 125) in patients with carcinoma of the colon-rectum. The Authors conclude that although these markers are of little use, especially in association, in the early diagnosis of disease, it is very important to utilise these markers to monitor patients following surgical, chemotherapeutic or radiotherapeutic treatment.
