To study the clinical value of combined detection of 4 tumor markers, namely lactic dehydrogenate (LDH), tissue polypeptide specific antigen (TPS), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and beta2-microglobulin (beta2-MG) in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).
The serum level of LDH was determined with automatic biochemical analyzer and TPS, CEA and beta2-MG levels were determined by enzyme-linked immumosorbent assay (ELISA) in 59 patients with NHL and 40 healthy adults.
The levels of the 4 tumor markers were significantly higher in NHL patients than in the healthy control subjects (P<0.05). After chemotherapy, the serum levels of TPS and beta2-MG were significantly lowered in the patients who showed favorable response to the treatment (P<0.05), but the levels of LDH and CEA showed no significant change (P>0.05). The serum levels of LDH, TPS, CEA and beta2-MG in the patients in a stable or progressive phase did had no significant changes after chemotherapy (P>0.05).
Combined detection of LDH, TPS, CEA and beta2-MG can be helpful to assist diagnosis of NHL and treatment evaluation.
研究联合检测乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)、组织多肽特异性抗原(TPS)、癌胚抗原(CEA)和β2-微球蛋白(β2-MG)这4种肿瘤标志物在非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)患者中的临床价值。
采用自动生化分析仪检测59例NHL患者及40例健康成年人血清中的LDH水平,采用酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)检测TPS、CEA和β2-MG水平。
NHL患者的4种肿瘤标志物水平显著高于健康对照者(P<0.05)。化疗后,治疗反应良好的患者血清中TPS和β2-MG水平显著降低(P<0.05),但LDH和CEA水平无显著变化(P>0.05)。处于稳定期或进展期的患者化疗后血清中LDH、TPS、CEA和β2-MG水平无显著变化(P>0.05)。
联合检测LDH、TPS、CEA和β2-MG有助于NHL的辅助诊断及治疗评估。
