This study evaluated use of a combination assay of tumor markers in the diagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Serum levels of four tumor markers (carcinoembryonic antigen [CEA], squamous cell carcinoma antigen [SCCA], immunosuppressive acidic protein [IAP], and cytokeratin 19 fragment [Cyfra]) were simultaneously measured in 42 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (O-SCC) and in 12 patients with oral benign diseases.
The positive rates were 31.0% for CEA, 38.1% for SCCA, 52.4% for IAP, and 38.1% for Cyfra in patients with O-SCC. These rates were significantly different (P < .01) from those of control patients with oral benign diseases. The sensitivity (81.0%) and accuracy (77.8%) of the combination assay uses higher than that obtained with individual markers.
A combination assay with CEA, SCCA, IAP, and Cyfra may be useful for the screening of patients with suspected oral squamous cell carcinoma.
本研究评估了肿瘤标志物联合检测在口腔鳞状细胞癌诊断中的应用。
对42例口腔鳞状细胞癌(O-SCC)患者和12例口腔良性疾病患者同时检测了四种肿瘤标志物(癌胚抗原[CEA]、鳞状细胞癌抗原[SCCA]、免疫抑制酸性蛋白[IAP]和细胞角蛋白19片段[Cyfra])的血清水平。
O-SCC患者中,CEA的阳性率为31.0%,SCCA为38.1%,IAP为52.4%,Cyfra为38.1%。这些比率与口腔良性疾病对照患者的比率有显著差异(P < .01)。联合检测的敏感性(81.0%)和准确性(77.8%)高于单个标志物检测。
CEA、SCCA、IAP和Cyfra联合检测可能有助于筛查疑似口腔鳞状细胞癌患者。
