Diagnostic value of serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen and cytokeratin fragment antigen 21-1 for sinonasal inverted papilloma: an exploratory study.
Rhinology(2024)
Abstract
BACKGROUND:Serum tumor markers have not yet been developed for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP), one of the most significant sinonasal tumors. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the diagnostic value of serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) and cytokeratin fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA 21-1) for SNIP.
METHODS:Clinical data were obtained from 101, 56, and 116 patients with SNIP, sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC), and unilateral chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), respectively. Preoperative serum SCCA and CYFRA 21-1 levels were compared, and logistic regression analyses were performed to screen serum tumor markers, which may be used to diagnose SNIP. Diagnostic cut-off values were determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and their diagnostic power was verified.
RESULTS:Serum SCCA and CYFRA 21-1 differentiated SNIP from CRS with the cut-off values of 1.97 ng/mL and 2.64 ng/mL and the areas under the ROC curves (AUC) of 0.895 and 0.766, respectively, and the AUC of the combination of the two markers was 0.909. CYFRA 21-1 differentiated SNIP with malignant transformation from that without malignant transformation with a cut-off value of 3.51 ng/mL and an AUC of 0.938. CYFRA 21-1 distinguished SNIP with malignant transformation from SNSCC with a cut-off value of 3.55 ng/mL and an AUC of 0.767.
CONCLUSIONS:This study provides novel potential diagnostic tools for SNIP by demonstrating the use of serum SCCA and CYFRA 21-1 in the diagnosis of SNIP.
