However, the value of these serum markers for diagnosing GC is still under debate. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of gastrin-17, CEA, CA12-5 and CA19-9 in the diagnosis of GC.Methods: The level of CEA, CA12-5, CA19-9 and gastrin-17 was tested in 230 GC patients and 99 healthy people. The value of the four markers for diagnosing GC was analyzed.Results: The positive rate of Gastrin-17, CEA, CA19-9 and CA12-5 was much higher in GC group (22.61%, 22.61%, 20.00% and 8.26%, respectively) than that of healthy control group (5.05%, 2.02%, 1.01% and 2.02%, respectively). The sensitivity of Gastrin-17, CEA, CA12-5 and CA19-9 in the diagnosis of GC was 22.61%, 22.61%, 6.96% and 20.00%, respectively, and the corresponding specificity was 94.95%, 97.98%, 98.99% and 98.99%, respectively. By using the optimal cut-off value derived from the area under curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve, the AUC of gastrin-17, CEA, CA12-5, CA19-9 increased to 0.72, 0.64, 0.61 and 0.65, respectively. After combining the four markers, the AUC increased to 0.79 (95% CI: 0.75– 0.84), and the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 65.22% (95% CI: 58.70– 71.40%) and 84.85% (95% CI: 76.20– 91.30%), respectively, which were significantly higher than those of separate markers (P < 0.05).Conclusion: CEA, CA12-5, CA19-9 and gastrin-17 were all valuable in the diagnosis of GC, and gastrin-17 had the best diagnostic value among the four markers. Gastrin-17 combined with CEA, CA12-5 and CA19-9 could improve the diagnostic value of GC significantly. Prospective, multi-center studies are needed to validate our findings.Keywords: gastric cancer, tumor marker, gastrin, diagnosisWang ZMo TMTian LChen JQDove Medical Pressarticlegastric cancertumor markergastrindiagnosisMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of General Medicine, Vol Volume 14, Pp 8087-8095 (2021)
