In order to discriminate between benign and malignant effusions, the value of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (GNCH Sub-beta) has been estimated in pleural exudates. A sample of 65 patients, 33 with a malignant (histologically and/or cytologically established) and 32 with a benign effusion was analysed. Only mean CEA in malignant effusions was significantly higher than in benign effusions (p less than 0.01). In the detection of malignant effusion CEA showed a sensitivity of 57% and a specificity of 97%; AFP a sensitivity of 9% and a specificity of 97% and GNCH Sub beta a sensitivity of 9% and a specificity of 90%.
为了鉴别良性和恶性胸腔积液,对胸膜渗出液中的甲胎蛋白(AFP)、癌胚抗原(CEA)及人绒毛膜促性腺激素β亚基(GNCH Sub-beta)的价值进行了评估。分析了65例患者的样本,其中33例为恶性胸腔积液(经组织学和/或细胞学确诊),32例为良性胸腔积液。只有恶性胸腔积液中的CEA均值显著高于良性胸腔积液(p<0.01)。在检测恶性胸腔积液时,CEA的敏感性为57%,特异性为97%;AFP的敏感性为9%,特异性为97%;GNCH Sub-beta的敏感性为9%,特异性为90%。
