TY - JOUR T1 - Demonstration of carcinoembryonic antigen in bone marrow from patients with carcinoma.

Six marrow biopsies contained tumour deposits, five of which were positive for carcinoembryonic antigen. A further five marrow biopsies contained single carcinoembryonic antigen positive cells of uncertain origin. Carcinoembryonic antigen staining may be a useful adjunct to conventional histology in the diagnosis of marrow metastases. ER -
