Background |
Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor. The aim of the present study was to analyze the application value of serum pepsinogen (PG), carbohydrate antigen 72-4 (CA72-4), and gastrin-17 (G-17) detection in the screening, diagnosis, and evaluation of early gastric cancer. |
Methods |
In total, 122 patients with gastric cancer treated in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2021 were selected as the gastric cancer group and subdivided into the early gastric cancer (group A) and advanced gastric cancer (group B) groups. Sixty-five patients with benign gastric disease treated in the same hospital... |
Results |
G-17, PGI, and PGI/PGII levels in the gastric cancer group were significantly lower than those in the healthy group, and CA72-4 was significantly higher than that in the healthy group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in PGII between the 2 groups (P>0.05). G-17, PGI, and PGI/PGII levels in groups A and ... |
Conclusions |
Serum PG, CA72-4 combined with G-17 detection has high sensitivity and specificity in the screening and diagnosis of early gastric cancer, and has high clinical application value.The Status of Wound Care Education. |
