Abstract
Background and aims: Currently, there are no biomarkers with high accuracy in the detection of pancreatic cancer. This article aims to evaluate the performance of a novel diagnostic model based on a combination of biomarkers in the washing fluid obtained by EUS-FNA with imaging examination in pancreatic cancer.
Methods: This study included 59 patients with pancreatic lesions who underwent EUS-FNA and were categorized into malignant and benign groups on the basis of pathology diagnosis. The levels of CEA, CA19-9, CA125, CA724, CYFRA 21-1, IMP3, SMAD4, and S100P in EUS-FNA washing fluid were detected by ELISA. We attempted to construct a new diagnostic method by combining the above biomarkers with EUS, CT, MRI, and PET-CT.
Results: CEA, CA19-9, CA724, CA125, and CYFRA 21-1 showed statistical significance in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer (AUC > 0.7, p < 0.05). CA724 had a specificity of up to 100% in the group with positive EUS diagnosis. If at least two positive imaging results (EUS/CT/MRI/PET-CT) combined with at least one tumor marker (CEA/CA199/CA724) in series, the sensitivity was 88.57% and the specificity was 91.67%.
Conclusions: Combining the tumor markers CEA, CA19-9, CA724, CA125, and CYFRA 21-1 in the washing fluid of EUS-FNA with commonly used imaging methods can help distinguish benign and malignant pancreatic lesions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer is a multidisciplinary medium for the publication of novel research pertaining to cancers arising from the gastrointestinal tract.The journal is dedicated to the most rapid publication possible.The journal publishes papers in all relevant fields, emphasizing those studies that are helpful in understanding and treating cancers affecting the esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder and biliary tree, pancreas, small bowel, large bowel, rectum, and anus. In addition, the Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer publishes basic and translational scientific information from studies providing insight into the etiology and progression of cancers affecting these organs. New insights are provided from diverse areas of research such as studies exploring pre-neoplastic states, risk factors, epidemiology, genetics, preclinical therapeutics, surgery, radiation therapy, novel medical therapeutics, clinical trials, and outcome studies.In addition to reports of original clinical and experimental studies, the journal also publishes: case reports, state-of-the-art reviews on topics of immediate interest or importance; invited articles analyzing particular areas of pancreatic research and knowledge; perspectives in which critical evaluation and conflicting opinions about current topics may be expressed; meeting highlights that summarize important points presented at recent meetings; abstracts of symposia and conferences; book reviews; hypotheses; Letters to the Editors; and other items of special interest, including:Complex Cases in GI Oncology: This is a new initiative to provide a forum to review and discuss the history and management of complex and involved gastrointestinal oncology cases. The format will be similar to a teaching case conference where a case vignette is presented and is followed by a series of questions and discussion points. A brief reference list supporting the points made in discussion would be expected.
