| 1 | Significance of combined detection of LunX mRNA and tumor markers in diagnosis of lung carcinoma显示文摘Objective:To evaluate the significance of combined detection of LunX mRNA,carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),neuron-specific enolase(NSE),and cytokeratin 21-1 fragment(CYFRA21-1) in clinical diagnosis of lung carcinoma.Methods:Based on the quantitative RT-PCR and chemiluminescence immunoassay,the expression levels of LunX mRNA,CEA,NSE,and CYFRA21-1 in 113 patients with lung carcinoma(case group) and 30 healthy participants(control group) were detected.Meantime,the sensitivity,specificity,and accuracy of the combination detection were also explored.Results:The positive rates of LunX mRNA in peripheral blood and CEA,NSE,and CYFRA21-1 in serum were significantly higher in case group than those in control group(χ2=17.295,16.825,19.148,and 17.450;P<0.05).There was no statistical significance when positive rate of LunX mRNA was evaluated among different pathological types(χ2=0.047,P>0.05).The positive rate of LunX mRNA in stage Ⅰ+Ⅱ,Ⅲ,and Ⅳ had a significantly increasing tendency(χ2=10.565,32.462,P<0.05).The positive rate of CYFRA21-1 was highest in squamous carcinoma(78.5%),the positive rate of NSE was highest in small cell carcinoma(86.7%),and the positive rate of CEA wag highest in lung adenocarcinoma(80.4%).The sensitivity and accuracy of the combination detection were 91.1% and 88.1%,respectively.Conclusions:The combined detection of LunX mRNA and tumor markers(TMs) including CEA,NSE,and CYFRA21-1 in peripheral blood is helpful to increase the diagnostic accuracy of lung cancer.Also,it can inform the pathological typing of lung carcinoma. | Hui Yu Xiuying Huang Zhihua Zhu Yi Hu Wei Ou Lanjun Zhang Ningning Zhou | 2014 | Chinese Journal of Cancer Research2014,26,1: | 3 |
