Serum tumor markers level and their predictive values for solid and micropapillary components in lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aims to reveal the serum tumor marker (STM) levels in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) histological subtypes and evaluate their values in predicting the solid and micropapillary components (SMC).

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 3100 invasive LUAD patients between January 2017 and December 2020. Associations between preoperative STMs (CEA, CYFRA21-1, CA199, CA724, NSE, AFP) and LUAD subtypes were evaluated. Multivariate regression analyses were used to determine the independent predictors. Predictive models for SMC were constructed and AUC (area under the curve) was calculated.

Results

CEA and CYFRA21-1 levels differed across the LUAD histological subtypes, with the SPA (solid-predominant adenocarcinoma) having the highest level and the LPA (lepidic
