Objective & Hypothesis:Background: In this study, we aimed to compare serum biochemicalmarkers in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma and pleuralplaques versus healthy individuals exposed to environmental asbestos.Methods: Between September 01, 2010 and March 31, 2011, a totalof 540 participants (354 males, 186 females; mean age 61.4 years;range, 35 to 89 years) were included in the study.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The participantswere divided into four groups as follows: (1) patients with pleuralplaques (n=277); (2) healthy individuals with normal chest X-rayswho were exposed to environmental asbestos (n=121); (3) healthyindividuals with normal chest X-rays who were not exposed toenvironmental asbestos (n=118); and (4) patients with malignantpleural mesothelioma (n=24).

Abstract

Background: In this study, we aimed to compare serum biochemicalmarkers in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma and pleuralplaques versus healthy individuals exposed to environmental asbestos.Methods: Between September 01, 2010 and March 31, 2011, a totalof 540 participants (354 males, 186 females; mean age 61.4 years;range, 35 to 89 years) were included in the study. The participantswere divided into four groups as follows: (1) patients with pleuralplaques (n=277); (2) healthy individuals with normal chest X-rayswho were exposed to environmental asbestos (n=121); (3) healthyindividuals with normal chest X-rays who were not exposed toenvironmental asbestos (n=118); and (4) patients with malignantpleural mesothelioma (n=24). Serum levels of carcinoembryonicantigen, cancer antigen 125, 15-3, 19-9, free T3, free T4, thyroidstimulatinghormone, vitamin B12, folate, and ferritin were measured.Results: Serum cancer antigen 125, 15-3, folic acid, vitaminB12, and ferritin levels were higher with lower free T3 levels inGroup 4 than the other groups. The areas under the curve forcancer antigen 125 and 15-3 were 0.78 and 0.67, respectively inthe differential diagnosis of mesothelioma from other pathologies(p<0.001 for both). Optimal limits of these biomarkers were13.63 and 18.43 ng/mL, respectively with 83% and 75% sensitivityand 69% and 48% specificity, respectively.Conclusion: The combination or individual use of serum cancerantigen 125, 15-3, folic acid, vitamin B12, and ferritin levels maybe helpful for early diagnosis and treatment of malignant pleuralmesothelioma.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada mezotelyoma ve plevral plaklı hastaların çevresel asbest maruziyeti yaşamış sağlıklı bireylere kıyasla serum biyokimyasal belirteçleri karşılaştırıldı. Çalışma planı: 01 Eylül 2010 - 31 Mart 2011 tarihleri arasında toplam 540 katılımcı (354 erkek, 186 kadın; ort. yaş 61.4 yıl; dağılım, 35-89 yıl) çalışmaya alındı. Katılımcılar dört gruba ayrıldı: (1) plevral plaklı hastalar (n=277); (2) çevresel asbeste maruz kalıp göğüs röntgenleri normal olan sağlıklı bireyler (n=121); (3) çevresel asbeste maruz kalmadan göğüs röntgenleri normal olan sağlıklı bireyler (n=118) ve (4) malign plevral mezotelyomalı hastalar (n=24). Serumda karsinoembriyonik antijen, kanser antijeni 125, 15-3, 19-9, serbest T3, serbest T4, tiroid stimülan hormon, B12 vitamini, folik asit ve ferritin düzeyleri ölçüldü. Bulgular: Diğer gruplara kıyasla, Grup 4’te serum kanser antijeni 125, 15-3, folik asit, B12 vitamini ve ferritin düzeyleri daha yüksek ve serbest T3 düzeyleri daha düşük idi. Mezotelyomanın diğer patolojilerden ayırıcı tanısında kanser antijeni 125 ve 15-3’ün eğri altında kalan alanı sırasıyla 0.78 ve 0.67 idi (her ikisi için de p<0.001). Bu biyobelirteçlerin optimum sınırı sırasıyla 13.63 ve 18.43 ng/mL olup, duyarlılıkları sırasıyla %83 ve %75 ve özgüllükleri %69 ve %48 idi. Sonuç: Serum kanser antijeni 125, 15-3, folik asit, B12 vitamini ve ferritin düzeylerinin birlikte veya tek başına kullanımı, malign plevral mezotelyomanın erken tanı ve tedavisinde yararlı olabilir.
