Predictive value of perioperative carcinoembryonic antigen changes for recurrence in non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite surgical resection, the prognosis for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unsatisfactory. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels on recurrence in patients with NSCLC before and after surgical resection. In addition, for patients with invasive lung adenocarcinoma (IAC), which constitutes the majority of cases, we further explored the effect of pathological subtype on recurrence.

Methods

A total of 349 patients were included in the study. The correlation between clinicopathological factors and post-surgery survival outcomes was analyzed. Kaplan-Meier curves were constructed based on the pertinent data and analyzed using the Cox regression model. Recurrence risk curves were
