Effects of Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome on Serum Carcinoembryonic Antigen Levels in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

CONCLUSIONS The AHI score and ODI score were positively associated with the CEA level in T2DM patients. The relationship was stronger in male T2DM patients and in those who smoked, were obese, or had poor glycemic control. The mechanism may be related to metabolic disorders, and the potential increased risk of colorectal cancer should be investigated in a prospective study. PMID: 31086125 [PubMed - in process]
