Cytokeratin 19, Carcinoembryonic Antigen, and Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule Detect Lung Cancer Lymph Node Metastasis in Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Aspiration Samples
Micro-Abstract We evaluated the feasibility of using molecular markers to detect non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) lymph node metastasis in endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration samples. Thirty-three NSCLC patients and 17 control subjects were included. Cytokeratin-19, ca...

Zusammenfassung: | Micro-Abstract We evaluated the feasibility of using molecular markers to detect non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) lymph node metastasis in endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration samples. Thirty-three NSCLC patients and 17 control subjects were included. Cytokeratin-19, carcinoembryonic antigen, and epithelial cell adhesion molecule identified NSCLC lymphatic involvement. This might be important to improve the negative predictive value and accurately subtype these samples. |
