Serum fragment of cytokeratin subunit 19 measured by CYFRA 21-1 immunoradiometric assay as a marker of lung cancer.
Cytokeratin 19 is a subunit of cytokeratin intermediate filament expressed in simple epithelia and their malignant counterparts. Therefore, it is expressed by respiratory epithelium cells and has been detected in lung cancer specimens. An immunoradiometric assay was used to detect a fragment of the cytokeratin 19, referred to as CYFRA 21-1, in the serum of 165 patients with histologically prove...
متن کاملPrognostic value of serum cytokeratin 19 fragments (Cyfra 21-1) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer
The role of serum CYFRA 21-1 level in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains to be defined. To re-evaluate the impact of serum CYFRA 21-1 in NSCLC survival, we performed this meta-analysis. Databases were searched to identify relevant studies reported after the publication of a meta-analysis in 2004. Totally, 31 studies with 6394 patients were included in this meta-analysis. T...
متن کاملCYFRA 21-1 as a tumour marker for bronchogenic carcinoma.
Despite extensive research, the role of the commonly employed tumour markers in the diagnosis of lung carcinoma is yet to be clarified. The utility of a new marker, CYFRA 21-1, in the preoperative evaluation of patients with bronchogenic carcinoma was investigated. CYFRA 21-1 was determined with a radiometric assay in serum of 280 patients with lung cancer and 208 patients with various nonmalig...
متن کاملCYFRA 21-1 serum analysis in patients with esophageal cancer.
This study was conducted to determine a potential use of CYFRA 21-1 in patients suffering from carcinoma of the esophagus. CYFRA 21-1 serum concentrations of 50 patients with histologically proven malignant lesion of the esophagus were compared with 50 healthy persons, 50 patients with benign esophageal disease, and 50 patients with benign lung disease. Additional analysis of serum carcinoembry...
متن کاملCYFRA 21-1 in urine: a diagnostic marker for endometriosis?
Diagnostic workup of endometriosis usually involves laparoscopic inspection and histological examination of biopsies. Unequivocal laboratory parameters for this ailment have not been available in routine diagnostic evaluations thus far. In this study, we examined urine concentrations of cytokeratin 19 (CYFRA 21-1), a structural protein specific for epithelia. We performed immunoassays for CYFRA...
