目的探讨不同血清肿瘤标志物在乙肝肝硬化人群中预测和诊断肝癌的临床价值。方法分析99例乙肝肝硬化患者、99例乙肝肝硬化合并原发性肝癌患者的临床资料,分别检测血清甲胎蛋白(AFP)、甲胎蛋白异质体(AFP-L3)和白介素6(IL-6)含量,并计算A...目的探讨不同血清肿瘤标志物在乙肝肝硬化人群中预测和诊断肝癌的临床价值。方法分析99例乙肝肝硬化患者、99例乙肝肝硬化合并原发性肝癌患者的临床资料,分别检测血清甲胎蛋白(AFP)、甲胎蛋白异质体(AFP-L3)和白介素6(IL-6)含量,并计算AFP-L3%(AFP-L3/AFP),比较两组间各血清肿瘤标志物表达水平差异,并计算各血清肿瘤标志物诊断肝癌的敏感度及特异性。结果乙肝肝硬化组与乙肝肝硬化合并肝癌组之间AFP[3.2(2.1,8.5)ng/ml vs 14.1(3.9,128.3)ng/ml]、AFP-L3[0.2(0.1,0.5)ng/ml vs 0.8(0.2,13.8)ng/ml]、AFP-L3%[5.0%(5.0%,5.0%)vs 5.0%(5.0%,11.7%)]、IL-6[8.7(6.3,11.4)pg/ml vs 13.5(10.7,16.5)pg/ml],差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。AFP在乙肝肝硬化人群诊断肝癌的敏感度为43.9%,特异性为84.8%;AFP-L3敏感度为48.1%,特异性为83.8%;AFP-L3%敏感度为29.3%,特异性为97.5%;IL-6敏感度为98.9%,特异性为34.3%。结论血清肿瘤标志物AFP、AFP-L3、AFP-L3%均能有效用于乙肝肝硬化人群预测和诊断肝癌,AFP-L3%更具优势;IL-6敏感度虽高,但特异性低,不能有效用于肝癌的诊断。展开更多
