Diagnostic value of CYFRA 21-1 and carcinoembryonic antigen in diagnosis of operable lung cancer from benign lung disease

Conclusion: Our results indicate that the combination of these two tumor markers resulted in higher sensitivity compared to use CYFRA 21-1 or CEA along. Given its lower sensitivity and higher specificity, positive CYFRA 21-1 or positive CEA strongly supports lung cancer in patients with nodular shadow in imaging scan.
