Detecting the levels of serum TPS、CYFRA21-1 and STNFR in patients with lung cancer and its clinical value / 中国实用内科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of tissue polypeptide specific antigen (TPS),CYFRA21-1 and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor (STNFR) in patients with lung cancer.Methods The serum levels of TPS,CYFRA21-1 and STNFR were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 72 patients with lung cancer,54 patients with benign diseases and 32 healthy adults.Results The levels of the 3 tumor markers in lung cancer group were significantly higher than those of the benign disease group and healthy control group,and the serum levels of this 3 tumor markers corresponding increased with the high TNM stage.The detectable rates of TPS (80.5%) and STNFR (81.9%) in serum of lung cancer were higher than CYFRA21-1(65.3%),and in TNM I group,the detectable rates of TPS (57.1%) and STNFR (57.2%) were higher than CYFRA21-1 (25.6%) too.Conclusion The TPS,CYFRA21-1 and STNFR can be used as a very useful and sensitive tumor marker in the diagnosis of lung cancer.The TPS and STNFR are better than CYFRA21-1 in clinical use.
