Comparison of Serum MicroRNA21 and Tumor Markers in Diagnosis of Early Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Abstract: Objective. To compare the clinical value of serum microRNA21 (miR21) and other tumor markers in early diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods. Serums carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), and miR21 were detected in 50 NSCLC cases and 60 healthy control individuals. Results. Average serums miR21, CEA, NSE, and CYFRA21-1 levels were significantly higher in the case group than in control group (P < 0.01). Analysis of areas under the re… Show more

“…CEA is an antigen in cancer tissues. As the most widely used tumor marker, CEA is highly expressed in a variety of cancer tissues (colon, stomach, liver and lung cancer) ( 19 ). NSE, a neuron and neuroendocrine cell-specific enzyme, is highly specific for liver cancer tissue.…”

“…The limited sensitivity and specificity of the usual biomarkers for early staging of NSCLC as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is the main reason to search for another alternative diagnostic and predictive markers for NSCLC, so that a number of deregulated lncRNA was proposed as a hallmark feature in human cancer .…”

“…The traditional lung cancer biomarkers remain the most studied biomarkers for lung cancer, especially in developing countries [ 7 ], which show an increased rate of positivity as the cancer stage advances, but could hardly be serve as standalone indicators of disease at its earliest stages. For example, the most sensitive Cyfra21-1 alone had a reported sensitivity threshold of 44% [ 8 , 9 ], and the most sensitive early diagnosis of lung cancer methodology with a biomarker panel remains to be determined, though preliminary analysis suggest a relevant sensitivity threshold of > 60% [ 10 , 11 ]. Therefore, new serologic biomarkers with sufficient sensitivity to reliably diagnose asymptomatic patients with lung cancer should be investigated.…”
