[Usefulness of determining tumor markers CEA, CA125 and CA72-4 in blood serum of patients with ovarian carcinoma]. / Przydatnosc oznaczen markerów nowotworowych CEA, CA125 i CA72-4 w surowicy krwi chorych na raka jajnika.

Serum levels of 3 markers: CEA, CA125 and CA72-4 have been determined in 58 patients aged from 15-60 years with histologically diagnosed ovarian cancer. Serum CEA was determined by radioimmunoassay using kits POLATOM (Poland), CA72-4 was determined using kits CIS BIOINTERNATIONAL (France) and CA125 was determined by enzyme immunoassay using kits Hoffmann-la-Roche (Wien-Austria). We have observed the growth of sensitivity and specificity of serum levels: CA125 and CA72-4 if we have referred to the simultaneous elevation of CA125 and CA72-4 markers. We have observed that CA125 and CA72-4 elevated levels were proceeded clinical recurrent of the disease from 2 to 6 months.
