Abstract:
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value and the clinical significance of six tumour markers of pleural effusion and serum in patients with lung cancer by detecting tumour marker and pleural effusion cytological examination. Methods Carcinoembryanic antigen (CEA), cancer antigen 19-9 (CA19-9),squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC), neuron specific enolase(NSE), cytokeratin 19 fragments(CYFRA21-l)and progastrin releasing peptide (ProCRP) levels in pleural effusion and serum sample from 50 cases of lung cancer and 30 cases of benign lung disease were detected by chemical and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.At the same time, the specimen of patients from pleural effusion was examinated by cytological method.According to the data above, the rational clinical diagnosis value were established by ROC curves. Results Six tumour markers in pleural effusion of lung cancer were higher than those of benign lung diseases, CEA,CA19-9, CYFRA21-1 and ProGRP were the highest group (P<0.05). The ratio of CEA, serum CYFRA21-1and CEA levels in pleural fluid and serum (P/S) in the group was the largest area under the ROC curve.Conclusion Pleural fluid CEA, the ratio of CYFRA21-1 and CEA levels in pleural fluid and serum (P/S) is helpful to differentiating benign and malignant pleural effusion diseases.The diagnostic value of pleural fluid CEA is important.
