Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), one of the most widely studied tumor markers, shows homotypic (CEA-CEA) intercellular adhesion and heterotypic adhesion to other members of CEA family, receptors on Kupffer cells, macrophages, microorganisms, and lectins. This review is focused on those adhesive properties of CEA which may pertain to the role of CEA in tumor progression.
