The utility of cytokeratin fragment (Cyfra) 21-1, a new tumor marker, was investigated in 100 patients with lung cancer. Sandwich enzyme immunoassay detected Cyfra 21-1 in the sera of 60% of patients. Sensitivity of this marker was especially high (86.4%) for squamous cell carcinoma, exceeding that of a similar marker, squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC, 54.5%). In contrast, sensitivity of Cyfra 21-1 was relatively low for adenocarcinoma (52.6%) and for small cell carcinoma (50%). We conclude that Cyfra 21-1 is of value in diagnosis of lung cancer, particularly squamous cell carcinoma.
对100例肺癌患者研究了一种新型肿瘤标志物细胞角蛋白片段(Cyfra)21-1的效用。夹心酶免疫测定法在60%患者的血清中检测到了Cyfra 21-1。该标志物对鳞状细胞癌的敏感性特别高(86.4%),超过了类似标志物鳞状细胞癌抗原(SCC,54.5%)。相比之下,Cyfra 21-1对腺癌(52.6%)和小细胞癌(50%)的敏感性相对较低。我们得出结论,Cyfra 21-1在肺癌诊断中具有价值,尤其是对鳞状细胞癌。
