Abstract:
Generality - Material - Method: The IMX PSA, CA 19-9, CEA are Microparticle Enzyme Immune Assay (MEIA) for the quantitative measurement of tumor marker in human serum. Results: number of health subjects 30 (20 men, 10 women), number of patients 56 (42 men, 14 women). The results of studies indicated that the PSA assay value is frequently elevated > 10ng/ml in the serum of subjects with prostatic cancer, the sensitivity 70.6%. CA 19-9 assay value is elevated > 37 U/ml in the serum of pancreatic cancer subjects, the sensitivity (83.4%). CEA assay value is elevated > 10 ng/ml in the serum of colorectal carcinoma, the sensitivity (54.5%).
