Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic potential of Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) in differentiating between malignant pleural effusion (MPE) induced by non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and benign pleural effusion (BPE).
Methods: We collected 143 pleural effusion samples from August 2018 to March 2021. The samples included 91 cases of MPE and 52 cases of BPE. The KL-6 and other indicators in pleural effusion were detected.
Results: The level of pleural effusion KL-6 (pKL-6) in the MPE group was significantly higher than in the BPE group (Mann-Whitney U = 442.500, P = .000). The area under the curve (AUC) of pKL-6/pleural effusion adenosine deaminase (pADA) + pleural effusion carcinoembryonic antigen (pCEA)/pADA (AUC = 0.992) in diagnosing MPE was higher than that of pKL-6 alone (AUC = 0.903), with a sensitivity of 93.26% and specificity of 100%.
Conclusion: The measurement of pKL-6 can differentiate NSCLC-induced MPE from BPE. Furthermore, the combined detection of pKL-6/pADA and pCEA/pADA can significantly improve the diagnostic efficiency for distinguishing NSCLC-induced MPE.
目的:探讨Krebs-von den Lungen-6(KL-6)对癌症(NSCLC)引起的恶性胸腔积液(MPE)和良性胸腔积液(BPE)的鉴别诊断价值。方法:我们收集了2018年8月至2021年3月的143份胸腔积液样本。样本包括91例MPE和52例BPE。检测胸腔积液KL-6等指标。结果:MPE组胸腔积液KL-6(pKL-6)水平显著高于BPE组(Mann-Whitney U=442.500,P=0.000)。pKL-6/胸腔积液腺苷脱氨酶(pADA)+胸腔积液癌胚抗原(pCEA)/pADA的曲线下面积(AUC)(AUC=0.992)诊断MPE高于单独的pKL-6(AUC=0.0903),敏感性为93.26%,特异性为100%。结论:pKL-6的测定可以区分NSCLC诱导的MPE和BPE。此外,pKL-6/pADA和pCEA/pADA的联合检测可以显著提高区分NSCLC诱导的MPE的诊断效率。
