Other ten subjects were taken as control group. It was done to evaluate both salivary and serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) before and two weeks after partial maxillectomy and immediate prosthetic obturation. Quantitative determination od salivary and serum CEA was done by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). From the results, it can be concluded that: 1. Both salivary and serum carcinoembryonic antigen decreased significantly after surgical removal of malignant tumour of maxilla and immediate prosthetic obturation. 2. Pre- and postoperative salivary and serum CEA are higher than those of control subjects. 3. Assessment of salivary and serum CEA can be used as valuable method for detection of oral malignancy or its recurrence. Study of long-term changes in salivary and serum CEA is recommended for patients after partial maxillectomy and prosthetic treatment  Supervisor : Mr. Abdul Qader Noire  Thesis Type : Master Thesis  Publishing Year : 1426 AH 2006 AD  Number Of Pages : 1  Added Date : Wednesday, January 2, 2008  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email السيد عبد القادر نوار Noire, Mr. Abdul Qader Researcher   anawer@kau.edu.sa Files File Name Type Description  A Study of Carcinoembryonic Antigen.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
