- Abstract
Background: Preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level is considered as a factor predictive of survival in colorectal cancer patients. Patients with normal (<5 ng/ml) or lower preoperative CEA levels were reported to have significantly longer survival. This study was carried out in an effort to evaluate the prognostic significance of preoperative CEA levels of patients with colorectal cancer in Taiwan.
