Type: tumor marker
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a glycoprotein involved in cell adhesion and is one of the most widely used tumor markers, especially in gastrointestinal malignancies.

CEA is commonly overexpressed in several cancers, most notably colorectal cancer, but also in cancers of the lung, pancreas, breast, and others.
– Both tissue expression and serum CEA levels can be monitored; serum measurements are frequently used in clinical practice.

5432- AG,    Astragalus polysaccharides combined with radiochemotherapy for cervical cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies
- Review, Cerv, NA
ChemoSen↑, review aims to determine the clinical efficacy and safety of Astragalus Polysaccharide Injection (APS) combined with chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer based on existing data.
eff↑, APS combined with chemoradiotherapy improved the objective response rate (ORR, RR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.24–1.64) and disease control rate (
RadioS↑, APS can enhance the clinical efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy for cervical cancer, respectively.
CEA↓, APS further reduced tumor marker levels: CEA (MD = −1.24, 95% CI: −1.58 to −0.89, p < 0.00001; heterogeneity: χ2 = 1.75, p = 0.19, I2 = 43%), SCC (
Wnt↓, Specifically, APS inhibits the cisplatin resistance pathway and regulates the cell cycle by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin pathway via the PPARD/CDC20 axis (Liu et al., 2025)
β-catenin/ZEB1↓,
γH2AX↑, APS also influences autophagy and upregulates γH2AX expression, thereby enhancing cervical cancer sensitivity to radiotherapy
ER Stress↑, APS alleviates endoplasmic reticulum stress and promotes mitochondrial autophagy, thereby enhancing apoptosis and mitigating cisplatin-induced toxicity
mt-TumAuto↑,
QoL↑, suggested that APS combination therapy improves short-term clinical efficacy, quality of life, and immune function

2503- H2,    Brain Metastases Completely Disappear in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Using Hydrogen Gas Inhalation: A Case Report
- Case Report, Lung, NA
TumVol↓, Hydrogen-gas monotherapy was started to control the tumor a month later. After 4 months, the size of multiple brain tumors was reduced significantly
OS↑, After 1 year, all brain tumors had disappeared, and there were no significant changes in metastases in the liver and lung.
Dose↝, The hydrogen oxygen nebulizer (AMS-H-03, Asclepius Meditec, Shanghai, China) generates 3 L/min hydrogen gas by hydrocephalus electrolysis. As measured by gas chromatography, the gas generated consisted of 67% hydrogen and 33% oxygen.
Dose↝, Using a special mask, the patient continued to inhale hydrogen for 3–6 hrs a day at rest, with no interruption even after the obvious relief of symptoms.
CEA↓, dropped from 29.44 to 12 ng/mL in 12 months (figure 3)
CA125↓, dropped from 150 to 60 u/mL (figure 3)
CYFRA21-1↓, dropped from 12 to 6 ng/mL (figure 3)

IL1β↓, Hydrogen inhalation can down-regulate the expression of various pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, intracellular adhesion molecule-1, high mobility group box-1, nuclear factor-kappa B, and prosta
