The value of pleural fluid carcinoembryonic antigen estimation in the diagnosis of malignant tumours of the pleural cavity

Measurement of pleural fluid and blood carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) concentrations as well as estimations of pleural fluid protein, lactic acid dehydrogenase and sugar levels were carried out in 45 patients with pleural effusions in order to determine the value of these biochemical parameters in t...

Zusammenfassung:	Measurement of pleural fluid and blood carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) concentrations as well as estimations of pleural fluid protein, lactic acid dehydrogenase and sugar levels were carried out in 45 patients with pleural effusions in order to determine the value of these biochemical parameters in the diagnosis of malignant tumours involving the pleural space.
