Keratin 19 (K19) is a cancer stem cell marker expressed by a subpopulation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), associated with tumor aggressiveness. We evaluated the prognostic value of serum K19 fragment (CYFRA 21-1), in comparison or in combination with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and protein induced by vitamin-K absence or antagonist-II (PIVKA-II), in patients with HCC. A total of 160 patients (28F/132M; median age 62, range 44-86 years) with a new diagnosis of HCC and available serum samples collected at tumor diagnosis were analyzed retrospectively. Median overall survival (OS) after HCC diagnosis was 35.1, 95% CI 27.1-70.5 months. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that CYFRA 21-1 > 2.7 ng/mL (hazard ratio (HR) = 3.39, < 0.001), AFP > 20 ng/mL (HR = 2.27, = 0.007), and PIVKA-II > 200 mAU/mL (HR = 2.17, = 0.020) were independent predictors of OS. The combination of biomarkers positivity allowed us to stratify patients with HCC into four risk categories associated with a progressively lower survival probability (log-rank test, < 0.001). CYFRA 21-1 resulted an independent prognostic factor of patients with HCC and its combination with AFP and PIVKA-II might be useful to tailor personalized treatment strategies.

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.
