Abstract:
Hourly blood sampling for CEA determination was performed in metastatic breast cancer patients before and during medical treatment. Rhythmic fluctuations of marker concentrations could be detected. These oscillations seemed to be independent of the localisation of metastases and the kind of treatment. No relation between cortisol or prolactin and CEA levels became apparent.
