Abstract:
Gastric cancer (GC) is fifth most frequently diagnosed cancer and second leading cause of cancer in China. More than 80% of GC are diagnosed at an advanced stage due to low uptake rate of invasive screening method. The performance of methylated SFRP2 test was evaluated in 236 plasma samples, including 92 patients with GC, 16 intestinal metaplasia patients, 26 gastric fundic gland polyp patients, 13 small adenoma patients, 39 hyperplastic polyp patients, and 50 control patients. The sensitivity of plasma methylated SFRP2 was compared to serum CEA, CA72-4, CA19-9, and CA242 results in 79 patients with GC. The sensitivities for detecting GC and gastric intestinal metaplasia by methylated SFRP2 test were 60.9% and 56.3% with a specificity of 86.0%. Methylated SFRP2 test had significantly higher positive detection rate for patients with GC than gastric fundic gland polyp, small adenoma, and hyperplastic polyp patients. In 79 patients with GC, the sensitivities of CEA, CA72-4, CA19-9, and CA242 for detecting GC were 22.8%, 16.5%, 12.7%, and 11.4%. In comparison, the sensitivity of methylated SFRP2 test for detecting GC was 58.2%. Plasma methylated SFRP2 test may become a valuable tool for the noninvasive detection of GC and precursor lesions and showed higher sensitivity than serum tumor markers.
