BACKGROUND/AIMS: Despite the presence of many diagnostic methods, the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant biliary obstructions is still not easy. We aimed to evaluate the role of serum/biliary carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3(VEGFR-3), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) tests in this differential diagnosis.
Patients (n:225; 110♂, 115♀) with diagnosis of malignant (n:96) or benign (n:129) biliary obstruction were included in this cross-sectional study. Serum and biliary CEA, CA 19-9, VEGFR-3, and TAC tests were analyzed, statistics were obtained, and significance was defined as p<0.05.
Mean age was 54.9±16.4 for the benign and 54.2±19.6 for the malignant group (p=0.89). Head of pancreas cancer (18.2%), cholangiocarcinoma (11.4%) and choledochal stone (48%) were the most common etiologies. The area under the curve (AUC)s by ROC analysis of serum/biliary CA 19-9, VEGFR-3, and TAC and serum CEA were 0.701/0.616, 0.622/0.663, 0.602/0.581, and 0713, respectively. Serum TAC had higher sensitivity (61.1%) and CEA had lower sensitivity (42.7%), whereas CEA had higher specificity (89.9%) and TAC had lower specificity (60.5%). In biliary tumor markers, CA 19-9 had higher sensitivity (74%) and VEGFR-3 had lower sensitivity (56.2%); however, VEGFR-3 had higher specificity (79.1%) and CA 19-9 had lower specificity (34.1%). Additionally, combination of serum CEA (p<0.001), CA 19-9 (p<0.001), VEGFR-3 (p<0.001), and biliary CA 19-9 (p=0.028) markers achieved 95% estimation probability, and the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were 88.5%, 45.7%, and 64%, respectively.
Serum and biliary CEA, CA 19-9, VEGFR-3, and TAC tests would not be useful in the differentiation between malignant and benign biliary obstructions.
背景/目的:尽管存在多种诊断方法,但良性和恶性胆道梗阻的鉴别诊断仍然不易。我们旨在评估血清/胆汁癌胚抗原(CEA)、糖类抗原19-9(CA 19-9)、血管内皮生长因子受体-3(VEGFR-3)和总抗氧化能力(TAC)检测在这种鉴别诊断中的作用。
本横断面研究纳入了诊断为恶性(n = 96)或良性(n = 129)胆道梗阻的患者(n = 225;男110例,女115例)。分析血清和胆汁中的CEA、CA 19-9、VEGFR-3和TAC检测结果,进行统计学分析,显著性定义为p<0.05。
良性组的平均年龄为54.9±16.4岁,恶性组为54.2±19.6岁(p = 0.89)。胰腺癌(18.2%)、胆管癌(11.4%)和胆总管结石(48%)是最常见的病因。血清/胆汁CA 19-9、VEGFR-3、TAC和血清CEA的ROC分析曲线下面积(AUC)分别为0.701/0.616、0.622/0.663、0.602/0.581和0.713。血清TAC具有较高的敏感性(61.1%),CEA具有较低的敏感性(42.7%),而CEA具有较高的特异性(89.9%),TAC具有较低的特异性(60.5%)。在胆汁肿瘤标志物中,CA 19-9具有较高的敏感性(74%),VEGFR-3具有较低的敏感性(56.2%);然而,VEGFR-3具有较高的特异性(79.1%),CA 19-9具有较低的特异性(34.1%)。此外,血清CEA(p<0.001)、CA 19-9(p<0.001)、VEGFR-3(p<0.001)和胆汁CA 19-9(p = 0.
