Of these cases, 52 exhibited CEA and CA153 in both serum and nipple discharge(electrochemiluminescence method), and associations of these biomarkers with breast cancer prognosis were studied. Sixty cases of benign breast lesion were selected as a control group. Overall survival of breast carcinoma patients was evaluated. COX-2 expression was evaluated relative to clinicopathological features and CEA and CA153 levels, and its role in invasiveness was investigated.Results Among cases of invasive breast cancer, 72.7%(56/77) were COX-2 immunopositive, compared to 16.7% of benign lesions(χ2 = 66.745, P = 0.000) percentage of positive cells. COX-2 overexpression in breast cancer correlated positively with histological grade(II vs III; χ2 = 4.064, P = 0.043), lymph node metastasis(χ2 = 9.135, P = 0.003), and distant metastasis(χ2 = 8.021, P = 0.003). However, COX-2 expression did not correlate with age(≤ 50 vs 50 years) or tumor size(≤ 5 vs > 5 cm)(χ2 = 0.081, P = 0.776 and χ2 = 3.702, P = 0.054, respectively). Among breast cancer patients, COX-2 overexpression in tumors also correlated with shorter overall survival(P < 0.05). In brief, increased COX-2 expression correlates with worse prognosis and shorter overall survival. Malignant lesions were associated with significantly higher serum and nipple discharge levels of biomarkers, relative to benign lesions(P < 0.05). These biomarkers were present at significantly higher levels in nipple discharge than in serum(P < 0.05). Furthermore, significantly higher nipple discharge levels of CEA and CA153 were observed in COX-2-positive breast carcinoma patients, compared to COX-2-negative patients(P <0.05). Shorter overall survival in cancer patients group related to COX-2 overexpression in tumors(P < 0.05).Conclusion The study suggests that COX-2 overexpression correlates with poor clinicopathological parameters in breast cancers and might be an important biological marker of invasion and metastasis. The findings of the present study suggest that combined detection of COX-2 tissue expression and CEA and CA153 in serum and nipple discharge could facilitate clinical monitoring and diagnosis of metastasis in patients with breast cancer.展开更多

Methods: A total of 40 patients with ovarian carcinoma treated in our hospital from September 2015 to June 2017 were selected as the ovarian cancer group;40 patients with benign ovarian tumors in the same period were selected as the benign ovarian tumor group;40 healthy subjects were selected as the control group. The levels of tumor markers CA153, CA125, CA72-4 and FIB, IL-6 were compared between the three groups. Results: The CA153, CA125, CA72-4 and FIB, IL-6 levels of the ovarian cancer group were significantly higher than those in benign ovarian tumor group and the control group;these levels in the benign ovarian tumor group was not significantly different from those in the control group. With the increase of clinical phase, the levels of CA153, CA125 and CA72-4 in patients with ovarian cancer were gradually increased, and the levels in phase Ⅲ and Ⅳ were significantly higher than those in phase Ⅱ and in phase I;and the CA125 in phase Ⅱ was significantly higher than that in phase Ⅰ. The levels of FIB and IL-6 in phase Ⅱ and in phase Ⅲ, Ⅳ were significantly higher than those in phase I;the IL-6 level in phase Ⅲ, Ⅳ was significantly higher than that in phase Ⅱ. Conclusion: Serum tumor markers CA153, CA125, CA72-4 and FIB, IL-6 levels for ovarian cancer detection can be helpful for clinical diagnosis and worthy of promotion.展开更多

Methods: In situ hybridization analysis of PCA-1 mRNA expression was performed on 40 benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), 16 high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasm (HG-PIN), 74 PCa and 34 other malignant carcinoma specimens. The level of PCA- 1 expression was semiquanfitatively scored by assessing both the percentage and intensity of PCA- 1 positive staining cells in the specimens. We then compared the PCA-1 expression between BPH, HG-PIN and PCa and evaluated the correlation of PCA-1 expression level with clinical parameters of PCa. Results: PCA-1 mRNA was expressed in the majority of both PCa and HG-PIN specimens but not in BPH and other malignant carcinoma. The expression level of PCA-1 increased along with a high Gleason score (P 〈 0.05), and was unrelated to other clinical parameters of PCa (all P 〉 0.05). Conclusion: The data suggest that PCA-1 might be a novel diagnostic marker for PCa, and that increased PCA-1 expression might denote more aggressive variants of PCa.展开更多
