摘要: Abstract Purpose: The aim of this prospective study was to assess the prognostic impact serum tumor markers (Cyfra21-1, carcinoembryonic antigen, neuron-specific enolase, squamous cell carcinoma-antigen and TPAcyk) in patients with non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving complete resection. Methods: Sixty-seven histologically proven NSCLC resection stage I–IIIA disease were included. levels all measured using commercially available immunoassays. Results: With a median follow-up 86 months for surviving patients, those initial Cyfra21-1 higher than 3.57 ng/ml had significantly worse prognosis ( P =0.014). remaining showed no impact. In Cox regression model, proved be an independent factor both overall survival disease-free interval. addition, sustained as completely resected I/II disease. Conclusions: cut-off value ng/ml, Cyfra 21-1 NSCLC-patients Further evaluation is needed, particularly When confirmed larger patient numbers may contribute identification stratification variables future treatment approaches NSCLC.
