Clinical application of DKK-1,TFF3 and CA72-4 detection in diagnosis of gastric cancer / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical application of DKK-1,TFF3 and CA72-4 detection in the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer.Methods Seventy-five cases(gastric cancer group) of gastric cancer admitted to our hospital from January 2013 to May 2015 were selected.Seventy cases of benign gastric disease(benign gastric disease group) and 70 persons undergoing the physical examination(healthy control group) were selected as the research subjects.The concentration of CA72-4 in each group was detected by the electrochemiluminescence analyzer.The serum DKK-1 and TFF3 levels in each group were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was drawn for evaluating the diagnostic efficiency of each index in each group.The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive rate and negative predictive rate of 3 indicators for diagnosing gastric cancer before operation were compared.The concentration change of various indexes after gastric cancer radical resection were compared..Results The concentrations of DKK-1,TFF3 and CA72-4 in the gastric cancer group were significantly higher than those in the benign gastric disease group and healthy control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The area under ROC curve of DKK-1,TFF3 and CA72-4 were 0.876(95%CI 0.803-0.950),0.944 4(95%CI 0.894-0.975) and 0.818(95%CI 0.726-0.884) respectively.The sensitivity of CA72-4 was 78.6% and the specificity was 84.3%,the sensitivity of DKK-1 was 93.6% and the specificity was 87.1%,the sensitivity and specificity of TFF3 was 92.4% and 90.1% respectively.The concentrations of DKK-1,TFF3 and CA72-4 after radical resection in the gastric cancer group were significantly reduced,the difference was statistically significant compared with before treatment(P<0.05).Conclusion The detection of DKK-1,TFF3 and CA72-4 has a certain clinical value for the diagnosis of gastric cancer.The combined detection of these 3 indicators is conducive to improve the specificity and sensitivity of gastric cancer diagnosis.
