Evaluation of some tumor markers, acute phase proteins, sialic acid and lipid bound sialic acid before and after chemotherapy in stomach cancer
Journal Title: Medical Science and Discovery - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: It was aimed to compare the some tumor markers, acute phase proteins, sialic acid and lipid bound sialic acid levels in patients with stomach cancer before and after chemotherapy to the healthy controls.Material and Methods: Forty-eight patients with stomach adenocarcinoma and 20 healthy controls, totally 68 subjects were used. Blood samples were taken from all patients before and after chemotherapy and controls to analyse the levels of tumor markers (CA 125, CA 15-3, CA 19-9, CEA), acute phase proteins (CRP and fibrinogen) and SA (sialic acid), LSA (lipid bound sialic acid).Results: Before chemotherapy the serum levels of CA 125, CA 15-3, CA 19-9, CEA SA, LSA, CRP and fibrinogen (107.30 U/ml, 65.74 U/ml, 295.86 U/ml, 108.57 ng/ml, 199.60 mg/dl, 41.89 mg/dl, 86.03 mg/l and 469.42 mg/dl ) were higher than after chemotherapy group (36.46 U/ml, 34.00 U/ml, 100.18 U/ml, 20.20 ng/ml, 87.67 mg/dl, 31.06 mg/dl, 57.04 mg/l and 379.04 mg/dl) and the controls (8.64 U/ml, 21.65 U/ml, 21.52 U/ml, 2.77 ng/ml, 73.75 mg/dl, 27.47 mg/dl, 2.37 mg/l, 303.5 mg/dl).Conclusion: The serum levels of SA and LSA may be considered the indicators of poor/good prognosis of stomach cancer. CRP and fibrinogen are suggested as available biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis in patients with stomach cancer.
