The Significance of CEA and CA 19-9 Levels in Serum and Peritoneal Fluid in Colorectal Cancer Patients in the Context of Peritoneal Metastases and Cytology Results
CEA and CA 19-9 levels in peritoneal fluid strongly correlate with peritoneal dissemination in CRC. These markers may serve as additional predictive factors, aiding in early detection of peritoneal spread and improved risk stratification. Their assessment may be useful in guiding intraoperative and postoperative decision-making.
