The value of combining three cancer markers CEA, CYFRA 21-1, and SCC in the diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer at the National Lung Hospital
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the value of the distribution of 3 markers (CEA, CYFRA 21-1, and SCC) in the diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): 100 inpatients with non-small cell lung cancer (patient group) and 100 healthy individuals (control group) were selected for the study at the National Lung Hospital from May 2024 to May 2025. Results: The threshold and sensitivity and specificity and AUC for CEA, CYFRA 21-1 and SCC in the diagnosis of NSCLC were 5.0; 3.3; 1.5 ng/ml, and 64.0%; 66.0%; 61.0% and 60.0%; 83.0%; 72.0%, and AUC 0.881; 0.804; 0.735, respectively. The combined use of 3 markers, showed a sensitivity of 62.2% and a specificity of 85.0% with an AUC of 0.845. The sensitivity and specificity and AUC of CEA in the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma step up were 74.4%; 85.9%; 0.888. The sensitivity and specificity and AUC of SCC, CYFRA 21-1 in the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma step up were 90.0; 81.0% and 100; 83.0%, with AUC 0.925. The combined use of 3 markers in diagnosing adenocarcinoma showed a sensitivity and specificity of 70.5% and 88.25%, with AUC of 0.825. The combined use of 3 markers in diagnosing squamous cell carcinoma showed a sensitivity and specificity of 85.2% and 93.8% with AUC of 0.889.
