The parameters including DNA index,positive rates, densities of AgNOR, c-erbB-2, and p53,shape and density of nucleus were relatively valuable for diagnoses. Then a diagnostic discrimination model was established.The samples were confirmed with the model,the sensitivity rates in cancer group and adenoma group were 96.36% and 89.19%, respectively.The value of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in early diagnosis of colorectal cancers was uncertain.CONCLUSION:The quantitative evaluation of some parameters for colorectal tumor can provide reproducible data for differential diagnosis.The established diagnostic discrimination model may be of clinicopathological value,and can make the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer possible.展开更多

However, a convenient, economical and relatively precise method is not available. We here report a prospective study to find the possible value of the combined use of four popular tumor markers in the early diagnosis of lung cancer among patients with suspicious nodules in the lung. Methods Six hundred and sixty inpatients with suspicious nodules in the lung were divided into a lung cancer group and a benign pulmonary tumor group according to post-operative histological examinations. Serum levels of four tumor markers including squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), Cyfra 21-1 and neuron specific enolase (NSE) were assayed for each patient. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed for each tumor marker. The power of lung cancer diagnosis of each tumor marker, as well as a combination of them were analyzed and compared. Results The serum levels (median, range) of SCC, CEA, Cyfra 21-1 and NSE were 0.44 (0.01-35.70) ng/ml, 2.49 (0.30-26.78) ng/ml, 2.30 (0.82-73.33) ng/ml and 10.54 (0.10-56.41) ng/ml respectively in lung cancer group, and were 0.32 (0.01-0.90) ng/ml, 1.60 (0.20-8.93) ng/ml, 1.41 (0.72-4.82) ng/ml and 9.36 (6.56-24.24) ng/ml respectively in the benign pulmonary tumor group. The difference in each tumor marker between the two groups was significant (P 〈0.05). The ROCs of SCC, CEA, Cyfra 21-1 and NSE were 0.702 (95% CI, 0.654-0.751), 0.611 (95% CI, 0.563-0.659), 0.650 (95% Cl, 0.601-0.700) and 0.598 (95% Cl, 0.542-0.654) respectively, indicating very low power of these four tumor markers. When a combination of SCC, CEA, Cyfra 21-1 and NSE were empfoyed, the diagnosis power was strengthened. Conclusion SCC, CEA, Cyfra 21-1 and NSE are valuable in the early diagnosis of lung cancer among suspicious nodules in the lung, especially when they were assayed together for one patient.展开更多
