Aim: This paper discusses the retrospective analysis conducted to determine the significance of diagnostic biomarkers, carcinoembryonic antigens (CEA), cytokeratin fragment antigens 21-1 (CYFRA 21-1), neuron-specific enolases (NSE), and tumor-specific growth factors (TSGF) upon patients who suffered with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Materials And Methods: From June 2010 to December 2011, we analyzed the positive rates of biomarkers in 276 NSCLC patients. We assessed the relationship between biomarkers and clinical characteristics of sex, smoking history, and disease stage.

Results: The median and positive rates of each serum biomarker were marked as 1.91-22.77 ng/ml and 35.86% (CEA), 2.0-6.77 ng/ml and 50% (CYFRA 21-1), 13.91-23.78 ng/ml and 62.31% (NSE), and 56-67 μ/ml and 10.14% (TSGF). The level of CEA in peripheral (2.43-23.76 ng/ml) was significantly higher than the level at central position (1.97-3.63 ng/ml) (P < 0.05).

Conclusion: Although the positive CEA, CYFRA 21-1, NSE, and TSGF rates were observed at low values during the NSLCLC serum diagnosis, they still played an important role in diagnosing lung cancer. Significant levels of CEA, CYFRA 21-1, NSE, and TSGF were detected in the serum. The amounts found were useful for diagnosing NSCLC patients who depended on the currently limited biomarker development.

A novel approach to developing lateral flow assays (LFAs) for the detection of CYFRA 21-1 (cytokeratin 19 fragment, a molecular biomarker for epithelial-origin cancers) is proposed. Magnetic bioconjugates (MBCs) were employed in combination with advanced optical and magnetic tools to optimize assay conditions. The approach integrates such techniques as label-free spectral-phase interferometry, colorimetric detection, and ultrasensitive magnetometry using the magnetic particle quantification (MPQ) technique.

: Lung nodules detected by chest computed tomography (CT) often require invasive biopsies for definitive diagnosis, leading to unnecessary procedures for benign lesions. A blood-based biomarker test that predicts lung cancer risk in CT-detected nodules could help stratify patients and direct invasive diagnostics toward high-risk individuals. : In this multicenter, single-blinded clinical trial, we evaluated a test measuring plasma levels of p53, anti-p53 autoantibodies, CYFRA 21-1, and anti-CYFRA 21-1 autoantibodies in patients with CT-detected lung nodules.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the role of serum proteins as biomarkers for early detection of HPV-related cervical cancer, focusing on proteins like CEA, SCCA, HMGB1, and CYFRA 21-1.
  • Analysis of blood samples from 36 cervical cancer patients revealed that CEA was the most frequently detected protein, highlighting variations based on different HPV types.
  • The findings suggest that CEA could serve as a reliable biomarker for cervical cancer, especially in cases linked to HPV-16, which showed the highest response rates among the tested proteins.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the potential of the abnormal glycan structure Siaα-2,6Gal for diagnosing lung cancer early and differentiating it from other conditions.
  • Clinical data and serum samples were analyzed from 730 lung cancer patients and 120 healthy individuals, measuring various serum markers including Siaα-2,6Gal and traditional tumor markers.
  • Results showed that Siaα-2,6Gal levels were significantly higher in lung cancer patients, especially in early-stage cases, indicating it may serve as a more effective biomarker than traditional tests for diagnosing lung cancer.*

Cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1) is considered to be a potential marker for the diagnosis and of classification of lung cancer. It is highly desired to develop rapid and highly sensitive label-free chemiluminescence (CL) immunosensors for the detection of CYFRA21-1. In this work, magnetic core-shell nanocomposite FeO@nickel-cobalt double hydroxide (FeO@DH) was used for the first time as a carrier to synthesize N-(4-aminobutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol (ABEI) and gold and silver nanocluster (AuAgNC) bifunctionalized magnetic nanomaterials FeO@DH/AuAgNCs-ABEI.
