Abstract

CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) determinations were performed on 203 blood and urine samples from 23 patients with renal cell carcinoma. Neither the blood nor the urine CEA test was able to confirm the diagnosis or predict the status of the disease in more than one half of these patients. As presently constituted, the CEA test is not accurate for the diagnosis or prognosis of renal cell carcinoma.
