CEA appears to be a good marker in the follow up of patients operated for colorectal cancer. The Authors analyse, on the base of literature data, the results of CEA test in their experience of colorectal cancers operated from 1978 to 1987. They confirm the importance of CEA as recurrence marker, however the test, by itself, is not sufficient to always identify a new onset of the disease.
