Abstract:
1.Assessing CEA,CA199,CA125,CA153 could significantly increase the sensitivity and specificity.The sensitivity of combined assay with serum CEA+CA199 in diagnosing malignant pleural effusion was 92.2%,and the specificity was 90.9%.Conclusion:Tumor markers of CEA,CA199,CA125 and CA153 have high clinical values in differential diagnosis of cancerous and tuberculous pleural effusion.The combined assay with CEA+CA199 should be recommended.
