ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the diagnosis of colon cancer patients and the prediction of postoperative recurrence and metastasis in patients with colon cancer by serum angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) , vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) , carbohydrate antigen 199 and carcinoembryonic antigen CEA. Methods 100 patients with colon cancer, 100 patients with benign colonic lesions and 100 healthy subjects were examined. The levels of Ang-2, VEGF, CA19-9 and CEA in serum were detected, and the diagnosis and postoperative recurrence and metastasis of colon cancer were investigated. Results The levels of serum Ang-2, VEGF, CA19-9 and CEA in colon cancer group were higher than those in benign lesions and healthy controls (P < 0.05). The levels of Ang-2, VEGF, CA19-9 and CEA were detected. The sensitivity and specificity of each index were significantly higher in the diagnosis of colon cancer. The preoperative recurrence and metastasis rates of patients with positive Ang-2, VEGF, CA19-9 and CEA were higher than those of the negative patients respectively. Survival analysis showed a statistically significant difference in the time of distant metastasis between different expression states (P < 0.05). Conclusion The detection of serum levels of Ang-2, VEGF, CA19-9 and CEA has clinical significance for the diagnosis of colon cancer. Combined detection can improve the diagnostic efficiency; the levels of Ang-2, VEGF, CA19-9 and CEA in serum before surgery colon cancer is associated with recurrence and metastasis, and combined testing can help to assess tumor metastasis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical value of Thinprep cytology test (TCT)combined with h -TERC and c -myc in the diagnosis of cervical cancer.Methods hTERC amplification was detected by dual -color interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH),and the results were compared with TCT and histological examination.Examination the positive which TCT,h -TERC and c -myc by pathological examination.The final diag-nosis was determined by the pathological examination.Results TCT was abnormal in 26.4% of 500 case,18.0%abnormal h -TERC gene,16.0% abnormal c -myc gene.In 270 cases according to the cervical biopsy,the positive rate of chronic inflammation,cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)Ⅰ,CINⅡ,CINⅢ and cervical cancer:44.4%, 38.2%,36.4%,18.2%,and 7.3% respectively.The positive rates of h -TERC were 18.1%,45.4%,52.5%, 65.9% and 100.0%,respectively.The positive rates of c -myc were 21.4%,48.9%,56.7%,59.9% and 100.0%.With increased pathological grade,the expressions of h -TERC and c -myc were high.Conclusion TCT combined with h -TERC and c -myc can test cervical cancer more effective.
