Carcinoembryonic antigen and matrix metalloproteinase 2 serum and peritoneal washes concentration in staging and prognosis in colorectal cancer patients
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 90, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine of carcinoembryonal antigen and matrix metalloproteinase 2 peritoneal washes and serum concentration in patients suffering from colorectal cancer concerning tumor staging and 5-year survival rate in these patients. Methods: 80 patients who underwent curative surgery for colorectal cancer were included into the study. Preoperative serum and intraoperative peritoneal washes CEA and MMP-2 concentrations were measured. Results: Concerning tumor penetration CEA-s and CEA-p concentration was higher in subsequent stages from T2 to T4. Both CEA-s and CEA-p concentration was lower in T2 comparing to T3 and T4. Significant difference of CEA-s and CEA-p was noted between T2 and T4 stages. MMP2-s concentration was higher in T3 comparing to T2, the highest MMP2-p concentration was in T4, with no statistical significance. Concerning nodular status significant difference of CEA-s was noted between N0 and N1. For CEA-p significance was found between N0 and N2 as between N1 and N2. MMP2-s concentration was the highest in N1, MMP2-p concentration was the highest in T4, with no statistical significance. 5-year survival rate for all patients was 63,53%. There were significant differences in CEA-s and CEA-p concentration between patients with negative and positive 5-year survival. Conclusion: Intraoperative peritoneal washes concentration of CEA may potentially serve as an important factor for more precise colorectal cancer staging. CEA-p and CEA-s concentration correlates with survival rate in patients suffering from colorectal cancer and can be useful as an additional prognostic factor. Usefulness of MMP2 measurement still requires further studies. <br/><br/>
