Many disease biomarkers in clinical screening are glycoproteins (alfa fetoprotein for liver cancer, carbohydrate antigen 125 for ovarian cancer, carcinoembryonic antigen for colon cancer, prostate-specific antigen for prostate cancer, etc.), and glycan antigens (carbohydrate antigen 19-9 for gastrointestinal cancer and pancreatic cancer, etc.). The gene discussed is CEACAM5; the disease is colonic neoplasm.
