Clinical significance of changes of serum CEA,SCC,CYFRA21-1 and NSE levels in patients with advanced lung cancer / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the value of carcino embryonic antigen(CEA),carbohydrate antigen 19,cytokeratin(CYFRA21-1),squamous cell cancer antigen(SCC) and neuron specific enolase(NSE) for the evaluation of chemotherapy response in the patients with advanced lung cancer.Methods One hundred and thirty-six patients with advanced lung cancer(lung cancer group) and 40 patients with lung benign disease(control group) were collected.The lung cancer group was treated with at least two courses of chemotherapy.The CYFRA21-1,SCC,CEA and NSE levels before chemotherapy were compared among the lung cancer group,control group and the patients with different pathological types.The above mentioned tumor markers levels before and after chemotherapy were compared among the patients with different curative effects in the lung cancer group.Results The levels of serum NSE,CYFRA21-1,CEA and SCC before treatment in the lung cancer group were higher than those in the control group(P0.05).Conclusion CEA,CYFRA21-1,SCC and NSE can be used as the effective evaluation indexes of chemotherapy in lung adenocarcinoma,lung squamous cell carcinoma and small cell carcinoma,but which has little significance in the patients without effect of chemotherapy.
