Tian investigated the diagnostic value of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) in primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC). Their retrospective study, published in the , revealed that the serum levels of VEGF and IL-17 are significantly elevated in PHC patients compared with healthy controls. These biomarkers are closely associated with pathological features such as tumor metastasis and clinical tumor node metastasis stage. A receiver operating characteristic analysis further confirmed the diagnostic efficacy thereof, suggesting that VEGF and IL-17 could serve as valuable tools for early detection and treatment guidance. This study underscores the potential of integrating these biomarkers into clinical practice to increase diagnostic accuracy and improve patient management in PHC.
田研究了血清血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)和白细胞介素-17(IL-17)在原发性肝细胞癌(PHC)中的诊断价值。他们发表在[具体期刊名未给出]上的回顾性研究表明,与健康对照相比,PHC患者血清中VEGF和IL-17水平显著升高。这些生物标志物与肿瘤转移等病理特征以及临床肿瘤淋巴结转移分期密切相关。受试者工作特征分析进一步证实了其诊断效能,表明VEGF和IL-17可作为早期检测和治疗指导的有价值工具。本研究强调了将这些生物标志物整合到临床实践中以提高PHC诊断准确性和改善患者管理的潜力。
