Tumor marker for colorectal cancer

Abstract

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and Cancer antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) are the two most common tumor markers for colorectal cancer that are currently utilized clinically for investigation. Simultaneous use of the two markers is useful in evaluating the therapeutic effect and monitoring the recurrence of advanced colorectal cancer.
