Core Tip Dynamic monitoring of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels at three and six months after gastrectomy is crucial for postoperative management of gastric cancer. Elevated levels of these markers serve as independent risk factors for recurrence. Combined assessment of CEA and AFP enhances predictive accuracy, yielding an area under the curve of 0.826, and offers superior sensitivity and specificity compared with either marker alone. This combined approach facilitates earlier detection and timely intervention for recurrent gastric cancer.
