Abstract

Surgery alone remains the standard therapy for patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer. Although the preoperative serum level of carcinoembryonic antigen has been shown to be an independent prognostic factor, it has not yet been included in the staging system and does not alter the treatment strategy, especially in the selection of patients for adjuvant chemotherapy. From 1986 to 2003, preoperative and postoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen levels were measured in 455 patients with completely resected pathologic stage I non-small cell lung cancer. We compared the clinicopathologic characteristics and outcomes among patients who had preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen levels within the normal range (N group, n = 323), patients who had high carcinoembryonic antigen levels before surgery but normal levels after surgery (HN group, n = 112), and patients who had high carcinoembryonic antigen levels before and after surgery (HH group, n = 20). The significant characteristics of the HN group included the male sex, greater age, smoking, squamous cell histology, T2 status, lymphatic invasion, vascular invasion, and pleural invasion. Adenocarcinomas in patients of the HN group were more likely to be moderately to p...Continue Reading
