Overview
The laboratory findings associated with pseudomyxoma peritonei are increased levels of tumor markers such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19.9 (CA19.9), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125).[1]
Laboratory Findings
The laboratory findings associated with pseudomyxoma peritonei are increased levels of tumor markers such as:[2][3]
These tumor markers are also used as a baseline value for postoperative follow-up. Moreover, they have been reported as predictors of the completeness of cytoreductive surgery, a significant prognostic factor for pseudomyxoma peritonei.[2]
