Early Study of Tumor Abnormal Protein in Gastric Adenocarcinoma.

OBJECTIVE

To study the correlation between tumor abnormal protein (TAP) and tumor markers, blood glucose, uric acid and coagulation function in gastric adenocarcinoma and to evaluate the clinical application of TAP in the diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma.

METHODS

A total of 34 nontumor patients and 95 gastric adenocarcinoma patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University were enrolled in this study. Fresh blood from patients' fingertips was collected, all blood samples were examined with TAP testing kit, and then searched and measured the condensed particulate matter.

RESULTS

The comparison of TAP between nontumor patients and gastric adenocarcinoma patients was statistically significant (P<0.05). Bivariate correlation analysis was conducted between TAP and other related tumor markers (alpha-fetoprotein, carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA199), carbohydrate antigen 72-4 (CA72-4)), blood glucose, uric acid, and coagulation function-related indicators, and the results showed that the correlation between TAP and CA199, CA72-4, and activated partial prothrombin time was statistically significant. In addition, according to the analysis results, there was no significant difference among TAP and age, height and weight in the tumor population and the nontumor population.

CONCLUSION

TAP can be used for the screening and diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma, and the effect of TAP combined with other indicators is more significant than TAP alone.
