RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the clinical values of progastrin-releasing peptide (Pro-GRP), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA21-1), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) and human human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) detections in the diagnosis of lung cancer patients.Methods:The clinical data of 200 lung cancer patients who were admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the pathological type, the patients were divided into lung adenocarcinoma group (80 cases), lung squamous cell carcinoma group (75 cases) and small cell lung cancer group (45 cases). Fifty patients with benign lung diseases and 50 healthy physical examiners who were admitted to the hospital during the same period were selected. All the subjects were tested for the levels of Pro-GRP, NSE, CYFRA21-1, SCCA and HE4, and the differences of each index level in the subjects of different subgroups were compared. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn, and using pathological diagnosis result as the gold standard, the diagnostic efficacy of each index alone and in combination for lung cancer was compared.Results:The serum levels of Pro-GRP, NSE, CYFRA21-1, SCCA and HE4 in lung cancer group were higher than those in the benign lung diseases group and the healthy control group (all P < 0.001). There were no statistical differences in the levels of serum Pro-GRP, NSE, CYFRA21-1, SCCA and HE4 between the benign lung diseases group and the healthy control group (all P > 0.05). The levels of Pro-GRP, NSE and HE4 in the small cell lung cancer group were higher than those in the lung adenocarcinoma group and the lung squamous cell carcinoma group (all P < 0.05). NSE and HE4 levels in the lung adenocarcinoma group were higher than those in the lung squamous carcinoma group (both P < 0.05), while CYFRA21-1 and SCCA levels were lower than those in the lung squamous carcinoma group (both P < 0.05). The AUC of lung cancer diagnosed by HE4 was the largest (0.813), the AUC of lung adenocarcinoma diagnosed by HE4 was the largest (0.824), the AUC of lung squamous carcinoma diagnosed by CYFRA21-1 was the largest (0.884), and the AUC of small cell lung cancer diagnosed by NSE was the largest (0.959). The AUC of lung cancer diagnosed by combined detection of 5 indicators was 0.951, the AUC of lung adenocarcinoma and small cell lung cancer diagnosed by combined detection of 5 indicators was 0.975 and 0.996, and the AUC of lung squamous cell carcinoma diagnosed by combined detection of CYFRA21-1, SCCA and HE4 was 0.967. Conclusions:The levels of Pro-GRP, NSE, CYFRA21-1, SCCA, HE4 and other indicators have certain clinical values in the diagnosis of lung cancer and its pathological types, and the combined detection of each index is more valuable than a single index.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of combined detection of serum gastrin-releasing peptide precursor (ProGRP),neuron specific enolization enzyme(NSE)and carcinoembryonicantigen(CEA)in small cell lung cancer(SCLC). Methods 471 patients with lung tumor from department of respiratory medicine and thoracic surgery and 162 healthy people from medical examination center were studied.Serum levels of ProGRP,NSE and CEA were detected by using electrochemi-cal luminescence method.ROC curves were drawn and the area under the curve (AUC)was calculated.Results The levels of ProGRP and NSE were significantly higher in patients with SCLC than those in NSCLC,lung benign disease group and normal control group (P <0.01).The levels of CEA were significantly higher in SCLC than those in patients with lung be-nign disease group and normal control group (P <0.05).The AUC of ProGRP,NSE and CEA in the diagnosis of SCLC were 0.933,0.777 and 0.554,respectively.The sensitivity of ProGRP,NSE and CEA in the diagnosis of SCLC were 82.6%,60.4%,41.6% and the specificity were 95.2%,83.3% and 71.7% respectively.The sensitivity of combined detec-tion of ProGRP,NSE and CEA was 91.3% and the specificity was 65.3%.Conclusion The serum ProGRP detection has a higher diagnostic value for SCLC.The combined detection of ProGRP,NSE and CEA is useful in the early diagnosis of SCLC.
