Using peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) method, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was demonstrated in conventionally processed colorectal cancer tissues. A new immunohistochemical grading for colorectal cancers based on the mode of the localization was made in an attempt to clarify the factors responsible for elevation of plasma CEA levels in colorectal cancer patients. Most of the patients with well differentiated adenocarcinoma, in which CEA was densely distributed along the apical surface but only rarely present along the basolateral surfaces of the carcinoma cells, had very low levels of plasma CEA, whereas all patients showing CEA distribution in the stroma as well as over the entire surfaces of the cancer cells and their cytoplasm showed high plasma CEA levels. In addition, there was a good correlation between the grading and presence of the blood vessel and lymphatic invasions. Thus, the appearance of CEA in the surrounding stroma, due to abnormal distribution of CEA on the basolateral plasma membrane of cancer cells, may play a significant role in the elevation of plasma CEA levels in colorectal cancer patients.
