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).
Laboratory Findings
The laboratory findings associated with pseudomyxoma peritonei are increased levels of tumor markers such as:[1][2]
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.[1]
