Serum CEA, CA19-9, and AFP as biomarkers for gastric cancer
Although CEA, CA19-9, and AFP individually show low detection rates in gastric cancer, their combined use improves diagnostic accuracy. Elevated CA19-9 is associated with lymph node metastasis, and high CEA independently indicates a poorer prognosis. Additional research is necessary to clarify the clinical utility of these biomarkers in early detection and prognostic evaluation.
