ABSTRACT
To study the clinical significance of combined measurement of neuron specific enolase(NSE), carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) and Cytokeratin19 fragment 21 1 (CYFRA 21 1 ) in the diagnosis of lung cancer. The serum levels of CEA, NSE, and CYFRA 21 1 in 75 lung cancer patients as well as in 22 benign pulmonary diseases patients were measured by radioimmunoassay. Patients with pulmonary adenocarcinoma had a highest CEA level. Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) patients had a highest NSE level, while patients with squamous cell carcinoma of lung had a highest CYFRA 21 1 level. The positive rate of the combination of CEA, NSE, and CYFRA 21 1 for lung cancers was 82 67%. The results suggested that the combined measurement of CEA, NSE, and CYFRA 21 1 was helpful in the diagnosis of lung cancer.
