Abstract: Objective To investigate the correlation between the expression levels of serum soluble epidermal growth factor receptor(sEGFR), carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA), cytokeratin 19 fragment(Cyfra21-1), and overall survival of patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods Altogether 127 NSCLC cases were involved, including 42 cases of squamous carcinoma and 85 cases of adenocarcinoma. The TNM stage was II+III in 45 cases and IV in 82 cases. The sEGFR expression was detected with ELISA, and CEA and cyfra21-1 levels were detected with electrochemical luminescence. The relationship between the levels of sEGFR, CEA, Cyfra21-1 and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of NSCLC patients were analyzed. Results The expressions of sEGFR and CEA in NSCLC patients were correlated with the clinical stage (P<0.05). Patients with adenocarcinoma showed significantly higher CEA than patients with squamous carcinoma (P<0.05), while serum Cyfra21-1 had no statistically significant characteristics (P>0.05). The median survival of patients with reduced serum sEGFR, increased CEA, and increased Cyfra21-1 was 9.0(4.0-21.25)months, 8.5(4.0, 16.0)months and 8.0(4.0, 13.25)months, respectively, which were statistically significant compared with patients with normal expressions (P<0.05). Conclusion The decrease of sEGFR, increase of CEA and Cyfra21-1 in patients with NSCLC is significantly correlated with the overall survival, and the prognosis can be assessed by detecting the serum levels of sEGFR, CEA and Cyfra21-1. 山 东 大 学 学 报 (医 学 版)57卷10期 -徐淑媛,等.血清sEGFR、CEA及Cyfra21-1水平对非小细胞肺癌患者预后的影响 \=-
