Abstract

We stained tissue CEA in specimens of 25 advanced and reccurrenced breast cancers using the PAP method. We concluded the following: Tissue CEA positivity was 56.0% (14 out of 25 cases). Tissue CEA positivity was not correlated with age, clinical stage or histological type of primary breast cancer. Tissue CEA-positive breast cancers tended to have multiple distant metastases and very poor prognoses as opposed to negative ones.
