Serum CA125 and NSE: Biomarkers of disease severity in patients with silicosis
Abstract
Background We investigated the clinical significance of tumor markers in patients with silicosis.Methods Eighty silicosis patients without malignancy and 50 healthy volunteers were compared for serum tumor marker concentrations. Pulmonary function and several routine laboratory tests were performed. Correlation between serum tumor marker concentrations and severity markers for silicosis was analyzed. Tumor marker concentrations were detected in both blood and BALF samples in silicosis patients. The pre- and post-lavage differences in the serum tumor marker concentrations were also investigated. Immunohistochemical staining for tumor markers was performed in a lung biopsy specimen from a silicosis patient.Results Both serum NSE and CA125 concentrations were significantly higher in cases compared with controls. Significant positive correlations were found between values of NSE and CA125 and LDH concentration. Significant negative correlations were also observed between values of NSE and CA125 and spirometric parameters. Patients with silicosis had higher concentrations of NSE in BALF than that in serum. 11 of 14 patients experienced a decrease in NSE concentrations following whole lung lavage. Immunohistochemical studies showed positive NSE staining in lung biopsy specimen.Conclusions Serum NSE and CA125 concentrations would provide valuable clinical information to assess disease severity in silicosis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
