Prognostic significance of CEA reduction rate in patients with abnormally high preoperative CEA levels who underwent surgery for lung cancer
In NSCLC, which is characterized by high preoperative CEA levels, the CEA reduction rate after surgery is a useful prognostic factor. Importantly, it is a more powerful indicator for OS compared with postoperative CEA levels. Further, large-sample-size cohort studies focusing on this issue are warranted.
