ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the changes of serum fatty acid synthase (FAS),carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 72-4 (CA72-4) in patients with gastric cancer and its clinical diagnostic value.Methods Forty five patients with gastric cancer and 45 patients with benign gastric cancer treated in our hospital from January 2016 to December 2016 were enrolled in this study.Forty five healthy subjects were enrolled in this study.The levels of FAS,CEA,and CA72-4 in three groups were analyzed.Results The levels of FAS,CEA,and CA72-4 in patients with gasttric cancer [(12.73 ± 5.48) mg/L,(31.36 ± 14.51) ng/ml,and (39.32 ± 18.76) U/ml] were significantly higher than those in benign gastric cancer group [(2.26 ± 1.15) ng/L,(3.24 ± 1.47) ng/ml,and (3.75 ± 1.69) U/ml],and normal control group [(1.83 ± 0.92) mg/L,(2.71 ± 1.54) ng/ml,and (3.13 ± 1.82) U/ml] (P ＜ 0.05).FAS,CEA,and CA72-4 levels in patients with lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer [(13.58 ± 6.09) mg/L,(6.25 ± 11.54) ng/ml,and (41.31 ± 13.67) U/ml] were significantly higher than those without lymph node metastasis [(9.21 ± 5.42) mg/L,(28.38 ± 9.72) ng/ml,and (26.75 ± 11.86) U/ml] (P ＜ 0.05).The sensitivity of FAS,CEA,and CA72-4 in patients with gastric cancer was significantly lower than that in combined detection,the specificity of FAS,CEA,and CA72-4 in patients with gastric cancer was significantly higher than that in combination test (P ＜ 0.05).The sensitivity of FAS,CEA,and CA72-4 in patients with lymph node metastasis was significantly lower than that in combination test,and the specificity of FAS,CEA and CA72-4 was significantly higher than that of combined detection (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions FAS,CEA,and CA72-4 can be used as indicators of gastric cancer and diagnosis of lymph node metastasis.Combined detection of three indexes can improve the diagnostic sensitivity and have good clinical significance.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the significance of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA),carbohydrate antigen (CA) 199,CA242,and CA724 combined detection in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer.Methods The levels of CA724,CA242,CA199,and CEA in 112 cases of colorectal cancers,74 cases of colorectal benign lesion group,and 128 cases of healthy physical examination group were detected by chemiluminescence method.Results The levels of CEA,CA199,CA242,and CA724 in sera were significantly higher than those in colorectal cancer group (P ＜ 0.05),and the difference between two groups was not significant (P ＞ 0.05).In the clinical diagnosis of colon and rectal cancers,the sensitivity,specificity,and detection rate of CEA were 52.3％,93.5％,and 76.8％;CA199 was 46.9％,91.9％,and 73.6％;CA242 was 56.3％,94.6％,and 79.0％;and CA724 was 49.2％,93.0％,and 75.2％.The combined detection of CEA,CA199,CA242,and CA724 were 76.6％,96.2％,and 87.6％.Conclusions In the diagnosis of colorectal cancer,combined detection of serum CEA,CA199,CA242,and CA724 has more clinical value.than single detection,and can improve the diagnostic sensitivity and detection rate.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical value of combined detection of serum carbohydrate antigen 724 (CA724),carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA),and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) for the diagnosis,assessment of curative effect,and illness monitoring for advanced gastric cancer (AGC).Methods Serum levels of CA724,CEA and TNF-α were measured by the methods of chemiluminescence and compared in 20 patients with AGC (Group A),20 patients with benign gastric disease (Group B),and 20 healthy adults (Group C).Also,serum levels of CA724,CEA and TNF-α in peripheral blood as well as in portal vein were measured and compared before and after surgical treatment in patients of group A.Results The serum levels of CA724,CEA and TNF-α in patients of group A were significantly higher than groups B and C (P ＜ 0.05).In addition,the serum levels of CA724,CEA and TNF-α in patients of group A were decreased after surgical treatment and increased slightly after one month (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The serum levels of CA724,CEA and TNF-α in most patients of AGC are significantly elevated and the combined detection of serum CA724,CEA and TNF-α contributes to the diagnosis,assessment of curative effect,and illness monitoring for AGC.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo determine the peripheral serum expressions and clinical value of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen CA19-9,CA242,CA72-4 and a single sialic acid ganglioside (CA50) antigen in advanced pancreatic cancer patients treated by three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) combined with endogenous field hyperthermia.Methods60 patients inoperable,advanced pancreatic cancer were treated by 3D-CRT combined with endogenous field hyperthermia.Radiation dose (DT) was 46 ～ 66 GY/23 ～ 33 F.Hyperthermia temperature was 41 ～ 43 ℃ 2 times/week,lasted 60 min each time.The expressions of CEA,CA19-9,CA242,CA72-4 and CA50 in peripheral serum were detected by Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) every 2 weeks during treatment,and correlation were analyzed with tumor diameter,clinical stage,lymph node metastasis.Results From the 8th week,with 3D-CRT combined with endogenous field hyperthermia ongoing,CEA,CA19-9,CA50 andCA242 expression levels showed a gradual decline.CEA,CA19-9,CA50 and CA242 expression levels were (6.22 ± 2.71 ) μg/L,(43.44 ± 12.93 ) μg/L,(23.21 ± 7.71 )g/L and (24.26 ± 8.92) μg/L in 6 weeks,respectively.The difference was statistically significant among week 6 and week 0,week2,week 4 ( P ＜0.05),however there was no significant difference between week 6 and week 8 ( P ＞ 0.05 ).The CA724 expression did not change significantly ( P ＞ 0.05 ).There were positively correlation between CEA,CA199,CA50 and CA242 with pancreatic cancer tumor size,clinical stage and lymph node metastasis( respectively r =0.877,0.725,0.826,all P ＜ 0.01 ),however CA72-4 had no correlations ( P ＞ 0.05).ConclusionsCEA,CA19-9,CA50 and CA242 expressions in peripheral serum of pancreatic cancer patients were closely related to the treatment.Their joint detection can be served as independent objective evaluation reference information for the treatment efficacy and prognosis.
