We assessed comparatively the diagnostic value of two potential malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) markers: hyaluronic acid (HA) and soluble mesothelin.
We measured serum and pleural fluid values of mesothelin and hyaluronic acid in 76 patients with MPM, 33 patients with pleural metastases of carcinomas (Mets group) and 27 patients with benign pleural effusion related to asbestos exposure (BPLAE).
Using a serum HA cut-off of 100 microg/L, 8 patients/33 (24.2%) were positive in the Mets group versus 20/76 (26.3%) in the MPM group and only 1/27 BPLAE patients. The area under ROC curve for serum HA in MPM versus Mets or BPLAE groups was only 0.617 while it was 0.755 for mesothelin. In pleural fluid, both markers had similar diagnostic values.
Serum mesothelin is more sensitive than hyaluronic acid in diagnosing MPM and there is no benefit in combining both markers.
我们比较评估了两种潜在的恶性胸膜间皮瘤(MPM)标志物:透明质酸(HA)和可溶性间皮素的诊断价值。
我们测量了76例MPM患者、33例癌性胸膜转移患者(转移组)和27例与石棉暴露相关的良性胸腔积液患者(BPLAE)的血清和胸腔积液中间皮素和透明质酸的值。
血清HA临界值为100μg/L时,转移组33例中有8例(24.2%)呈阳性,MPM组76例中有20例(26.3%)呈阳性,而BPLAE组27例中仅有1例呈阳性。MPM组与转移组或BPLAE组相比,血清HA的ROC曲线下面积仅为0.617,而间皮素为0.755。在胸腔积液中,两种标志物具有相似的诊断价值。
血清间皮素在诊断MPM方面比透明质酸更敏感,联合使用这两种标志物并无益处。
