Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA; MIM 114890) is one of the
most widely used tumor markers in serum immunoassay determinations
of carcinoma. An apparent lack of absolute cancer specificity for
CEA probably results in part from the presence in normal and
neoplastic tissues of antigens that share antigenic determinants
with the 180-kD form of CEA (Barnett et al., 1988 [PubMed
3220478]). For background information on the CEA family of genes,
