The clinical significance of CA153, CEA and CA125 in nipple discharge of breast intraductal papillary leision

Objective To study the value of tumor markers of CA153,CEA and CA125 in nipple discharge of breast intraductal papillary leision on detection of breast carcinoma.Methods 154 cases of breast intraductal papillary leision with nipple discharge were studied.Among them there were 58 cases with breast intraductal papillary carcinoma and 96 cases with intraductal papilloma.The nipple discharged and serum from the 154 cases were collected and CA153,CEA and CA125 levels were measured both in nipple discharge and serum with electrochemiluminescence method,and were compared with the results of ER,PR,HIF-1α and Ki-67 detected by SP method in breast tissue.Results The CA153,CEA and CA125 levels of nipple discharge in intraductal papillary carcinoma [(130.1 1±29.62) U/ml,(89.23±28.94) ng/ml,(41.29±16.61) U/ml]were significantly higher than those of the contrast groups,and had a positive correlation with the Ki-67,HIF-1αand lymphnode metastas (P ＜ 0.05),and negative correlation with the level of ER,PR and Her-2 (P ＜ 0.05).The positive rate of CA153,CEA or CA125 in nipple discharge (62.07 ％,46.55 ％,55.17 ％) were significantly higher than that in serum (P ＜ 0.05).The sensitivity of the combined detection of the three tumor markes both in discharge and serum was 96.55 ％,and the negative predictive value was 97.30 ％,which were significantly higher than that in other detection (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The positive rate of CA153,CEA and CA125 in nipple discharge were significantly higher than that in serum.The dynamic combined detection of CA153,CEA and CA125 both in nipple discharge and in serum could increase the diagnosis rate of breast intraductal papillary carcinoma.
