Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between high-resolution CT (HRCT) signs and serum tumor markers, to improve the diagnostic level and identify different pathological types of lung cancer. 102 patients with pathologically confirmed lung cancer were selected as the observation group. HRCT scan and serum tumor markers [cancer antigen 125 (CA125), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA), and neuron-specific enolase (NSE)] were performed to analyze the correlation. Among the 102 cases of lung cancer, 88 cases were of lobulation sign, 78 cases of speculation sign, 45 cases of pleural indentation sign, 35 cases of vessel tracking sign, and 34 cases of vacuole sign. CA125 had the highest concentration in lung adenocarcinoma (55.74±14.18) ng/ml, and SCCA had the highest concentration in lung squamous cell carcinoma (18.98±6.37) ng/ml. The concentration of NSE in small cell lung cancer was the highest (48.12±16.19) ng/ml. Pleural indentation sign and vacuole sign were more likely to happen in lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma, respectively. The significant increase of CA125, SCCA, and NSE concentrations suggested that lung cancer patients were more likely to suffer from lung adenocarcinoma, lung squamous cell carcinoma, and small cell lung cancer, respectively.
