Abstract
Background: Endometrial cancer is currently the prevalent malignant cancer worldwide. Diagnostic efficiency of tumor markers is limited, and coagulation function indicators in endometrial cancer are less concerned.
Methods: This study attempted to evaluate the effects of coagulation function indicators and tumor markers on the clinical diagnosis and clinicopathological characteristics of patients with endometrial cancer. The retrospective analysis compared the differences in coagulation function indicators and tumor markers among 175 patients with endometrial cancer and 170 healthy women from January 2020 to October 2022.
Results: Compared to the healthy control, the levels of D-dimer, fibrinogen, human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), CA153, and CA199 in patients with endometrial cancer were significantly higher (P < 0.05). Univariate and multivariate regression analyses revealed that abnormal levels of D-dimer, fibrinogen, HE4, CA125, CA153, and CA199 were related risk factors affecting the incidence of endometrial cancer. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis exhibited that the area under the curve (0.931) and accuracy (85.2%) of combined diagnosis of coagulation function indicators (D-dimer, fibrinogen) and tumor markers (HE4, CA125, CA153, CA199) were the highest, and its sensitivity (82.3%) and specificity (88.2%) were higher than any single or combined indicators of four tumor markers. Moreover, relative expression levels of the combined indicators were significantly different among clinicopathological characteristics that had the highest predictive value in the FIGO stage (P < 0.001).
Conclusions: D-dimer and fibrinogen represent potential diagnostic factors for endometrial cancer. The combination of coagulation function indicators and tumor markers exhibited high diagnostic value in endometrial cancer, as well as predictive value for clinicopathological characteristics.
背景:子宫内膜癌是目前世界上发病率最高的恶性肿瘤。方法:本研究试图评估凝血功能指标和肿瘤标志物对子宫内膜癌患者临床诊断和临床病理特征的影响:本研究试图评估凝血功能指标和肿瘤标志物对子宫内膜癌患者临床诊断和临床病理特征的影响。回顾性分析比较了2020年1月至2022年10月期间175例子宫内膜癌患者和170例健康女性的凝血功能指标和肿瘤标志物的差异:结果:与健康对照组相比,子宫内膜癌患者的D-二聚体、纤维蛋白原、人附睾蛋白4(HE4)、碳水化合物抗原125(CA125)、CA153和CA199水平显著升高(P P 结论:子宫内膜癌患者的D-二聚体、纤维蛋白原、人附睾蛋白4(HE4)、碳水化合物抗原125和CA199水平显著升高(P PD-二聚体和纤维蛋白原是子宫内膜癌的潜在诊断因素。凝血功能指标和肿瘤标志物的组合对子宫内膜癌具有很高的诊断价值,并对临床病理特征具有预测价值。
