摘要
Objective:To analyze the diagnostic value of fecal Fusobacterium nucleatum detection,fecal immunochemical test(FIT),and carbohydrate antigen 19-9(CA19-9)detection for colorectal cancer(CRC).Method:Atotal of 78 CRC patients and 60 healthy individuals were enrolled in this study.Stool and blood samples were collected for the 3 diagnoses,and ROC curves were analyzed for diagnostic value.Result:The 3 diagnoses’positive detection rates in CRC samples were significantly higher than those of healthy samples(P<0.05).The combined CRC diagnoses showed significantly higher sensitivity as compared to individual fecal F.nucleatum detection(χ^(2)=6.495,P=0.011),FIT(χ^(2)=4.871,P=0.027),and serum CA19-9 detection(χ^(2)=7.371,P=0.007).The area under the ROC curve for fecal F.nucleatum detection was 0.63[95%confidence interval(CI)=1.124–6.238],with a sensitivity of 73.08%and specificity of 85.00%,whereas FIT was 0.65(95%CI=1.365–9.241),with a sensitivity of 51.28%and specificity of 96.67%,meanwhile,serum CA19-9 detection was 0.62(95%CI=1.517–12.342),with a sensitivity of 69.23%and specificity of 98.33%.The combined CRC diagnoses showed an area under the ROC curve of 0.76(95%CI=1.213–6.254),with a sensitivity of 87.18%and specificity of 70.00%.Conclusion:The combined diagnoses of fecal F.nucleatum detection,FIT,and serum CA19-9 detection can significantly improve the sensitivity and accuracy of CRC diagnosis,which has high clinical application value to provide guidance for clinical CRC screening and early intervention treatment.
