This study was intended to determine the diagnostic significance of signal peptide-CUB-EGF domain-containing protein 1 (SCUBE 1) levels in gastric cancer.
This retrospective study was conducted with patients with gastric cancer. SCUBE 1 titers of plasma in patients with gastric cancer were determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
SCUBE 1 titers of gastric cancer patients were significantly higher compared with the control group (P=0.0001). At a SCUBE 1 cut-off point of 43 ng/mL, sensitivity was 67%, specificity 91%, positive predictive values (PPV) 92% and negative predictive values(NPV) 63%. SCUBE 1 levels of patients with methastase were not different from patients without methastase (P> 0.05). DICUSSIONS: SCUBE 1 levels in patients with gastric cancer were found higher compared to healthy subjects.
本研究旨在确定信号肽-CUB-EGF 结构域包含蛋白 1(SCUBE1)水平在胃癌中的诊断意义。
本回顾性研究纳入了胃癌患者。采用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)测定胃癌患者血浆中 SCUBE1 的浓度。
与对照组相比,胃癌患者的 SCUBE1 浓度明显升高(P=0.0001)。在 SCUBE1 截断值为 43ng/mL 时,敏感性为 67%,特异性为 91%,阳性预测值(PPV)为 92%,阴性预测值(NPV)为 63%。有转移的患者和没有转移的患者的 SCUBE1 水平没有差异(P>0.05)。
与健康受试者相比,胃癌患者的 SCUBE1 水平升高。
