TLDR
The use of CEA as a prognostic and predictive marker in patients with lung cancer is widely debated and future studies may benefit from evaluating more than one marker at a time, to create a more precise index for prognosis and recurrence in lung cancer.

Soluble PD-1 and PD-L1: predictive and prognostic significance in cancer

TL;DR: The objective of this systematic review was to elucidate the biological significance of soluble PD-1/PD-L1 in human cancers and evaluate whether they are potential diagnostic, therapeutic, or prognostic biomarkers.

Estimates of the cancer incidence and mortality in Europe in 2006

TL;DR: The total number of new cases of cancer in Europe appears to have increased by 300,000 since 2004 and the ageing of the European population will cause these numbers to continue to increase even if age-specific rates remain constant.

Carcinoembryonic Antigen, Squamous Cell Carcinoma Antigen, CYFRA 21-1, and Neuron-specific Enolase in Squamous Cell Lung Cancer Patients

TL;DR: CYFRA 21-1 is an independent prognostic factor in earlier stages and NSE in the advanced stages of SQC, and in multivariate analysis of survival, CYFRA21-1 was an independent but nonspecific prognosticfactor in the operable group of SQCs patients, whereas NSE was anindependent prognostic factors in theadvanced stages of disease.

Carcinoembryonic Antigen and CD44 Variant Isoforms Cooperate to Mediate Colon Carcinoma Cell Adhesion to E- and L-selectin in Shear Flow

TL;DR: The novel finding that CEA is an E- and L-selectin ligand may explain the enhanced metastatic potential associated with tumor cell CEA overexpression and the supportive role of selectins in metastasis.
