Abstract

The early diagnosis of lung cancer is closely associated with the decline of mortality. A panel consisting of seven lung cancer‑related autoantibodies (7‑AABs) has been shown to be a reliable and specific indicator for the early detection of lung cancer, with a specificity of ~90% and a positive predictive value of ~85%. However, its low sensitivity and negative predictive value limit its wide application. To improve its diagnostic value, the diagnostic efficiencies of 7‑AABs in combination with non‑specific tumor markers were retrospectively investigated for the detection of early‑stage lung cancer. A total of 217 patients with small lung nodules who presented with ground‑glass opacity or solid nodules as well as 30 healthy controls were studied. The concentrations of 7‑AABs and heat shock protein 90a (HSP90a) were assessed using ELISA. Automated flow fluorescence immune analysis was used for the assessment of CEA, CYFRA21‑1, CA199 and CA125 levels. The results showed that 7‑AABs + HSP90a possessed a remarkably improved diagnostic efficiency for patients with small pulmonary nodules or for patients with lung nodules of different types, which suggested that 7‑AABs in combination with HSP90a could have a high clinical value for the improvement of the diagnostic efficiency of early‑stage lung cancer.
