- Abstract
Objective. This study aimed to determine if variations in the expression profiles of CA 19-9 and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) within the reference range could serve as possible biomarkers for postoperative CRC recurrence. Method. This retrospective cohort investigation enrolled 2,596 cases of CRC that received curative surgery. Serum CEA/CA 19-9 were measured through chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA). Results. During follow-up (median follow-up = 5.2 years), in total, 837 patients experienced recurrence. The fully adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were significantly higher, ≥1 standard deviation (±SD), in patients with upregulated CEA/CA 19-9 levels (HRCEA = 7.06 ; HRCA 19 − 9 = 3.98) than in those with downregulated CEA/CA 19-9 levels. The likelihood of recurrence remained consistently greater in cases of elevated CEA/CA 19-9 levels during sensitivity analyses. Conclusions. The findings of this analysis showed that variations in CEA/CA 19-9 expression profiles within the reference range impact CRC recurrence.
