Objective: This study aimed to determine if variations in the expression profiles of CA 19-9 and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) within the reference range could serve as possible biomarkers for postoperative CRC recurrence.

Method: This retrospective cohort investigation enrolled 2,596 cases of CRC that received curative surgery. Serum CEA/CA 19-9 were measured through chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA).

Results: During follow-up (median follow-up = 5.2 years), in total, 837 patients experienced recurrence. The fully adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were significantly higher, ≥1 standard deviation (±SD), in patients with upregulated CEA/CA 19-9 levels (HRCEA = 7.06; HRCA 19 - 9 = 3.98) than in those with downregulated CEA/CA 19-9 levels. The likelihood of recurrence remained consistently greater in cases of elevated CEA/CA 19-9 levels during sensitivity analyses.

Conclusions: The findings of this analysis showed that variations in CEA/CA 19-9 expression profiles within the reference range impact CRC recurrence.

Introduction Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) continues to be a major global health concern, contributing substantially to cancer incidence and mortality. Colonic adenocarcinoma, a common subtype of CRC, is influenced by various prognostic factors, including tumor stage, histopathological characteristics, and tumor markers. Despite their routine use in clinical settings, the prognostic value of traditional tumor markers, such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9), and others, is still under debate.

Article Synopsis
  • This study explored the potential of specific microRNAs (miR-19a-3p, miR-92a-3p, miR-193a-3p, and miR-210-3p) as biomarkers for colorectal cancer (CRC) and compared them to existing markers like carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9).
  • Researchers analyzed tissue samples from 52 CRC and 76 pre-CRC patients, finding that only miR-193a-3p had a significant difference in expression when comparing pre-CRC to CRC and when analyzing CRC tissues vs. exosomes.

Diagnostic performances of methylated septin9 gene, CEA, CA19-9 and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio in colorectal cancer.

BMC Cancer

July 2024

Department of Clinical Laboratory, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, 87 Xiangya Road, Changsha, Hunan Province, 410008, China.

Background: This study was designed to compare the diagnostic efficacy of mSEPT9 to four blood markers (CEA, CA19-9, platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR)). In addition, we aimed to determine the combined diagnostic efficacy of mSEPT9, CEA, CA19-9, PLR and NLR in colorectal cancer.

Methods: A total of 567 participants were enrolled in the study, including 308 CRC patients, 61 colorectal polyp patients and 198 healthy subjects confirmed by colonoscopy and/or tissue biopsy.

Biomarkers screening is a benefit approach for early diagnosis of major diseases. In this study, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been utilized as labels to establish a multi-line immunochromatography (MNP-MLIC) for simultaneous detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA 19-9), and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in a single serum sample. Under the optimal parameters, the three biomarkers can be rapidly and simultaneously qualitative screening within 15 min by naked eye.
