Objective: To investigate the expression changes of serum vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA), neuron-specific enolase(NSE) and cytokeratin-19-fragment(CYFRA21-1) before and after intensity modulated radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) and their relationship with short-term curative effects. Methods: 60 NSCLC patients treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy were selected from the radiotherapy department of Henan Cancer Hospital from July 2021 to October 2022. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect serum VEGF levels, while chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay was used to detect CEA, NSE, and CYFRA21-1 levels before and after treatment. The expression of the four tumor markers in different histological types and clinical stages were compared, and changes in tumor marker levels before and after treatment and their relationship with short-term curative effects were analyzed. Results: Serum CEA expression level of adenocarcinoma patients was higher than that of squamous cell carcinoma patients(P<0.05). Conversely, serum CYFRA21-1 expression level of adenocarcinoma patients was lower than that of squamous cell carcinoma patients(P<0.05). Before treatment, serum VEGF level of patients with stage Ⅳ cancer was higher than that of stage Ⅲ patients(P<0.05). After treatment, serum VEGF, CEA, NSE, and CYFRA21-1 levels were all reduced compared to pre-treatment levels(P<0.05). After finishing treatment, 39 cases were effective, while 21 cases were ineffective. Furthermore, serum VEGF, CEA, and CYFRA21-1 levels of patients with effective treatment were lower than those of patients with ineffective treatment(P<0.05). Conclusion: Compared to squamous cell carcinoma patients, the expression level of CEA is higher and expression level of CYFRA21-1 is lower in lung adenocarcinoma patients. Serum VEGF level of patients with stage Ⅳ cancer are higher than that of stage Ⅲ cancer prior to treatment. After treatment with intensity modulated radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy, the serum levels of all four tumor markers decrease, and serum VEGF, CEA, and CYFRA21-1 expression levels are correlated with short-term treatment efficacy. The levels of these markers may serve as predictors of treatment response in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. |
