Abstract:Objective To investigate the prognostic value of tumor markers GSTP1, CYFRA21-1 and SCC-Ag in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods A total of 600 patients with NSCLC admitted to our hospital from June 2016 to June 2018 were enrolled in this study. Another 200 healthy people who underwent physical examination in our hospital during the same period were taken as control group. The levels of serum GSTP1 and CYFRA21-1 were detected by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. The levels of serum SCC-Ag level was detected by ELISA. The differences of serum GSTP1, CYFRA21-1 and SCC-Ag levels between NSCLC patients and healthy people were compared. The relationship between GSTP1, CYFRA21-1, SCC-Ag and survival time was evaluated. Results The levels of GSTP1, CYFRA21-1 and SCC-Ag in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the levels of GSTP1, CYFRA21-1 and SCC-Ag between the patients of different genders, ages and smoking or not (P > 0.05). GSTP1 levels in lung adenocarcinoma group, lung squamous cell carcinoma group, lung adenocarcinoma group and large cell lung cancer group were compared by one-way ANOVA, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The serum GSTP1 level in patients with lung adenocarcinoma was higher than that in patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma, lung adenosquamous carcinoma and large cell lung cancer (P < 0.05). The serum GSTP1 level in patients with large cell lung cancer was higher than that in patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma (P < 0.05). The serum GSTP1 level in patients with lung adenosquamous carcinoma was higher than that in patients with lung squamous carcinoma (P < 0.05). The levels of CYFRA21-1 and SCC-Ag in the the lung adenocarcinoma group were higher than those in the lung adenocarcinoma group, the lung squamous cell carcinoma group and the large cell lung cancer group (P < 0.05). The levels of serum CYFRA21-1 and SCC Ag in patients with lung adenocarcinoma were higher than those in patients with large cell lung cancer and lung adenocarcinoma (P < 0.05). GSTP1, CYFRA21-1 and SCC-Ag levels in patients with stage I and II were statistically higher than those in patients with stage III and IV (P < 0.05). The ROC curve showed that the combination of GSTP1, CYFRA21-1 and SCC-Ag had statistical significance in predicting the death within one year, the sensitivity was 93.92% (95% CI: 0.817, 0.980), and the specificity was 50.00% (95% CI: 0.424, 0.609). Conclusions The tumor markers GSTP1, CYFRA21-1 and SCC-Ag have certain value in the prognosis evaluation of NSCLC.
