Wang X, Wang J, He S, Li J, Chen X, Ma T, Liu L, Zhang L, Bu X. The clinical characteristics of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis patients with positive serum tumor markers: a retrospective study. BMC Pulm Med 2024; 24:20. [PMID: 38191360 PMCID: PMC10775564 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-023-02816-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum tumor markers (STM), extensively used for the diagnosis, monitoring and prognostic assessment of tumors, can be increased in some non-malignant lung diseases. To date, there is a paucity of studies regarding the clinical characteristics of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis patients with positive STMs. OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics and indicators of bronchiectasis with positive STMs. METHODS The clinical data of 377 bronchiectasis patients was retrospectively collected from January 2017 to December 2019 from Beijing Chaoyang Hospital. Patients were divided into the STM negative group, the single STM positive group and the ≥2 STMs positive group according to the number of the positive STMs. The clinical characteristics are described and compared separately. The multivariate logistic regression analysis model was used to investigate the indicators regarding positive STMs. RESULTS Patients in the ≥2 STMs positive group were older (P = 0.015), had higher mMRC scores (P < 0.001) and developed higher fever (P = 0.027). Additionally, these patients also had lower Albumin/Globulin Ratio (A/G), albumin (ALB), prealbumin (PAB) (P < 0.001, P < 0.001, P < 0.001, respectively) and higher CRP, ESR and Fbg (P < 0.001, P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively). Age (OR 1.022, 95%CI 1.003-1.042; P = 0.026) and the number of affected lobes (OR 1.443, 95%CI 1.233-1.690; P < 0.001) were independently associated with one and ≥ 2 positive STMs in bronchiectasis patients. CONCLUSION The ≥2 positive STMs are associated with a higher inflammation status and severer radiologic manifestations in bronchiectasis patients.

[PMID: 31389506 DOI: 10.1590/1806-9282.65.7.965] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2019] [Accepted: 04/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an important clinical event with an increased frequency due to increased life expectancy, obesity, and alcohol use. There are some data about the elevation of carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 levels in benign and malignant pancreaticobiliary events in the literature, but in AP they are limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the CA 19-9 level in patients with AP and determine its relationship according to the cause. METHODS Between 2010-2018, 173 patients evaluated with CA 19-9 levels as well as by standard laboratory tests were included in the study. CA 1 9-9 levels and laboratory findings were compared in patients with pancreatitis due to gallstone (group 1) and metabolic/toxic reasons such as hyperlipidemia, alcohol, or drug use (group 2). RESULTS There were 114 (66%) patients in the group 1 and 59 (34%) patients in the group 2. The majority of patients with high CA 19-9 level were in group 1 (92.1% vs 6.8%). CA 19-9 level, as well as amylase, lipase, AST, ALT and bilirubin levels were found to be statistically higher in patients with AP due to gallstone compared to patients with metabolic/toxic AP. CONCLUSIONS Patients with AP due to gallstone, were found to have a high level of CA 19-9 at admission. Early stage CA 19-9 levels may contribute to standard laboratory tests in the etiology of the disease in patients diagnosed with AP.

Assessment of Seven Clinical Tumor Markers in Diagnosis of Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer. DISEASE MARKERS 2018; 2018:9845123. [PMID: 30647803 PMCID: PMC6311751 DOI: 10.1155/2018/9845123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 53] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2018] [Revised: 08/12/2018] [Accepted: 09/09/2018] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
Background The correlation between tumor markers (TM) and TNM stage of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been widely reported. Methods TM levels (CEA, CA125, CA15-3, CA19-9, CA72-4, CYFRA21-1, and SCC-Ag) in 424 cases of lung adenocarcinoma (LAC), 166 cases of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), and 103 cases of benign chest disease (BCD) were analyzed before treatment. Results By Kendall's tau-b correlation analysis, CEA, CA125, CA15-3, CA19-9, CA72-4, CYFRA21-1, and SCC-Ag were correlated with T stage of LAC (r = 0.235, p < 0.05; r = 0.298, p < 0.05; r = 0.254, p < 0.05; r = 0.063, p < 0.05; r = 0.080, p < 0.05; r = 0.268, p < 0.05; and r = 0.080, p < 0.05). CEA, CA125, CA15-3, CA19-9, CA72-4, and CYFRA21-1 were correlated with N stage of LAC (r = 0.356, p < 0.05; r = 0.415, p < 0.05; r = 0.340, p < 0.05; r = 0.117, p < 0.05; r = 0.175, p < 0.05; and r = 0.351, p < 0.05). CEA, CA125, CA15-3, CA19-9, CA72-4, and CYFRA21-1 were correlated with M stage of LAC (r = 0.365, p < 0.05; r = 0.353, p < 0.05; r = 0.293, p < 0.05; r = 0.135, p < 0.05; r = 0.169, p < 0.05; and r = 0.312, p < 0.05). CA125, CYFRA21-1, and SCC-Ag were correlated with T stage of LSCC (r = 0.202, p < 0.05; r = 0.233, p < 0.05; and r = 0.099, p < 0.05). CA125 and CYFRA21-1 were correlated with N stage of LSCC (r = 0.178, p < 0.05 and r = 0.284, p < 0.05). CA125, CA15-3, and CYFRA21-1 were correlated with M stage of LSCC (r = 0.214, p < 0.05; r = 0.152, p < 0.05; and r = 0.213, p < 0.05). Combining hazard ratio, AUC, sensitivity, specificity, NPV, and PPV, it was concluded that CEA and CYFRA21-1were the most related TM of LAC. SCC-Ag and CYFRA21-1 were the most related TM of LSCC. Conclusions CEA combined with CYFRA21-1 contributed to auxiliary diagnosis of LAC. CYFRA21-1 combined with SCC-Ag contributed to auxiliary diagnosis of LSCC. CEA, CA125, CA15-3, CA19-9, CA72-4, and CYFRA21-1 were correlated with primary tissue and metastasis of LAC. CA125 and CYFRA21-1 were correlated with primary tissue and metastasis of LSCC.

Abstract
CA 19-9 (carbohydrate antigen 19-9) is a tumor marker widely used for surveillance of patients with pancreatic cancer. However, even high levels of CA 19-9 may not necessarily be cancer-associated thereby complicating the diagnosis. This case report highlights a transient increase of CA 19-9 in a triple transplanted patient with cystic fibrosis and continuous immunosuppression for 20 years who was under antibiotics. This case emphasizes the need for a balanced interpretation of biological results, especially in cases where many confounding factors are present such as diabetes, chronic renal failure, cystic fibrosis and infections. This case also provides an opportunity to formulate a number of recommendations for the interpretation of tumor marker results in order to avoid long and costly further investigations.

Abstract
Background/Aims Elevated carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 level may be unable to differentiate between benign and malignant pancreatobiliary disease with obstructive jaundice. The study aims to determine the clinical interpretation and the diagnostic value of CA 19-9 level in pancreatobiliary diseases with coexistent obstructive jaundice. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the data of 981 patients who underwent biliary drainage due to obstructive jaundice following pancreatobiliary disease at Sanggye Paik Hospital for 5 years. 114 patients with serial follow-up data for CA 19-9 level were included in this study (80 patients with malignancy and 34 patients with benign diseases). We compared the levels of CA 19-9 levels and the biochemical value before and after biliary drainage. Results The rate of CA 19-9 elevation (>37 U/mL) was significantly different between the benign group and the malignant group (59% vs. 90%, p=0.001). Despite the decrease in serum bilirubin after biliary drainage, CA 19-9 levels remained elevated in 12% of patients in the benign group and in 63% of patients in the malignant group (p<0.001). Finally, 12% of patients in the benign group turned out to have malignant disease. A receiver operating characteristic analysis provided a cut-off value of 38 U/mL for differentiating benign disease from malignant disease after biliary drainage (area under curve, 0.787; 95% confidence interval, 0.703 to 0.871; sensitivity, 62%; specificity, 88%). Conclusions This study suggested that we should consider the possibility of malignant causes if the CA 19-9 levels remain high or are more than 38 U/mL after resolution of biliary obstruction.

Abstract
Increased serum CA 19-9 levels in patients with nonmalignant diseases have been investigated in previous reports. This study evaluates the clinical significance of serum CA 19-9 elevation in pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial disease and pulmonary tuberculosis. The median CA 19-9 level was higher in patients with pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial disease than in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial disease: 13.80, tuberculosis: 5.85, p < 0.001). A multivariate logistic regression analysis performed in this study showed that Mycobacterium abscessus (OR 9.97, 95% CI: 1.58, 62.80; p = 0.014) and active phase of pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial disease (OR 12.18, 95% CI: 1.07, 138.36, p = 0.044) were found to be risk factors for serum CA 19-9 elevation in pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial disease. The serum CA 19-9 levels showed a tendency to decrease during successful treatment of pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial disease but not in pulmonary tuberculosis. These findings suggest that CA 19-9 may be a useful marker for monitoring therapeutic responses in pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial disease, although it is not pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial disease-specific marker.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was: (a) to measure levels of the tumor markers, Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), Cancer antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), Cancer antigen 125 (CA125), Neuron specific enolase (NSE) and Cytokeratin fragments 19 (CYFRA21-1); (b) to investigate any correlation between them and the inflammatory biomarkers C-reactive protein (CRP), Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and white blood cells count (WBC), in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation, who belong in groups of severity C and D, as classified by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD); (c) and finally, to compare these results in these two groups. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty-two patients with COPD exacerbation [35 male/17 female, mean age (± SD) 68.3 ± 6.4 years] were the study subjects, and were classified in severity groups C (n = 27) and D (n = 25), based on the spirometric classification, the number of exacerbations in the preceding year and the assessment of their symptoms by GOLD. Results. CEA and CA125 were increased in group D. In group C, there was a significant correlation between CRP and CA125 (p = 0.05). In group D, there was a significant correlation between WBC and NSE (p = 0.02), between CRP and CA19-9 (p = 0.02) and NSE (p < 0.001), and between the ESR and NSE (p = 0.03). CA125 (p = 0.01) and CA19-9 (p = 0.01) were significantly higher in group D compared to group C. In contrast, there was no significant difference in two groups for NSE, CEA and CYFRA21-1. CONCLUSION Certain tumor markers were increased and were associated with increased levels of inflammatory biomarkers and with the disease severity. Inflammation might have a key pathogenetic role linking the above tumor markers with the severity of COPD.

Abstract
Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is the most frequently applied serum tumor marker for diagnosis of cancers in the digestive organs. However, some patients with benign diseases can have elevated serum levels of CA19-9 as well. The current study presents a 55-year-old female who was admitted to our hospital for further evaluation of a nodular cavity shadow in the right lower lobe and clarification of the cause of the marked elevation of serum CA19-9 levels. Abdominal MRI and gastrointestinal endoscopy did not find any malignancy. As lung cancer cannot be excluded in this patient, a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was carried, intraoperative and postoperative biopsy analysis both suggested chronic bronchitis with fungal infection (due to Histoplasma capsulatum or Penicillium marneffei) and organization. Immunohistochemistry showed marked positive staining for CA19-9 in the damaged lung tissue. The CA19-9 levels quickly returned to the normal range following lobe resection. Therefore, the marked elevation of serum CA19-9 levels, in this case, may have resulted from the chronic bronchitis with fungal infection.
