Abstract:
Objective To investigate the application value of serum auto-antibody detection combined with low-dose spiral computed tomography (LDCT) in early lung cancer screening.
Methods From 12568 medical examination crowd (7453 males and 5115 females), 1324 people with high-risk cases of lung cancer in our medical examination center were divided randomly into three groups (LDCT, serum auto-antibody, and serum auto-antibody combined with LDCT groups). All people in this research were screened by chest X-ray. Follow-up was conducted for one year, and the positive screening and diagnosis rates of early lung cancer screening were compared between these groups of high-risk people with lung cancer.
Results The positive screening and diagnostic rates of high-risk lung cancer in the serum auto-antibody combined with LDCT group was significantly higher those that in other two groups (P < 0.001). The specificity and sensitivity of serum auto-antibody combined with LDCT group were 89.1% and 88.4%, respectively; the area under the ROC curve was 0.863.
Conclusion Serum auto-antibody detection combined with low-dose spiral CT can significantly improve the positive screening rate of lung cancer in high-risk populations, providing a strong theoretical support for lung cancer screening pathway.
