We measured high-molecular-mass alkaline phosphatase (HiMwALP) in serum samples from patients with colorectal cancer by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and by column chromatography on diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-cellulose. Determination of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) by an enzyme immunoassay, a frequently used cancer assessment method, was used for comparison. We studied patients with primary colorectal cancer (n = 72), using others with hemorrhoids (n = 38) for a comparison group. HiMwALP activities twice those of pooled normal sera were adopted as cutoff values. The diagnostic sensitivity of the PAGE method for 72 colorectal cancer patients was 63% vs 36% for the DEAE method and 50% for the CEA method. The diagnostic specificities of the PAGE, DEAE, and CEA methods were 89%, 79%, and 95%, respectively. Using both HiMwALP (PAGE method) and CEA for the detection of primary colorectal cancer increased the sensitivity to 72% but decreased specificity to 87%.
我们通过聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(PAGE)和二乙氨基乙基(DEAE)纤维素柱色谱法,测定了结肠癌患者血清样本中的高分子量碱性磷酸酶(HiMwALP)。采用酶免疫测定法测定癌胚抗原(CEA),这是一种常用的癌症评估方法,用于比较。我们研究了原发性结肠癌患者(n = 72),并将患有痔疮的其他患者(n = 38)作为对照组。HiMwALP活性为混合正常血清两倍的数值被用作临界值。PAGE法对72例结肠癌患者的诊断敏感性为63%,而DEAE法为36%,CEA法为50%。PAGE法、DEAE法和CEA法的诊断特异性分别为89%、79%和95%。同时使用HiMwALP(PAGE法)和CEA检测原发性结肠癌,可将敏感性提高到72%,但特异性降至87%。
