Background: It is unclear whether changes in serum tumor marker expression post-treatment are of prognostic value. We investigated the associations between changes in serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA 21-1) after first-line treatment and overall survival (OS) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: Advanced NSCLC patients (April 2010 to December 2015) with elevated serum CEA or CYFRA 21-1 were included. The associations between tumor marker changes after treatment initiation and OS were analyzed.
Results: Ninety-six and 55 patients were CEA- and CYFRA 21-1-positive, respectively. The serum CEA response at 4 months and CYFRA 21-1 responses at 1 and 4 months were significantly associated with OS in the univariate analyses (P=0.025, P=0.016 and P<0.001, respectively). Moreover, in the multivariate analyses, serum CYFRA 21-1 response at 4 months was significantly associated with improved OS (P=0.038).
Conclusions: In NSCLC patients, serum CEA and CYFRA 21-1 responses after treatment initiation may predict longer OS.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the predominant form of lung cancer and poses a significant public health challenge. Early detection is crucial for improving patient outcomes, with serum biomarkers such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCAg), and cytokeratin fragment 19 (CYFRA 21-1) playing a critical role in early screening and pathological classification of NSCLC. However, due to being mainly based on corresponding antibody binding reactions, existing detection technologies for these serum biomarkers have shortcomings such as complex operations, high false positive rates, and high costs.

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.*
