【 摘 要 】

This study aimed to assess the relationship between serum CA724 levels and the unresectability of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. A total of 302 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma were analyzed for the potential association between serum CA724 levels and the unresectability of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Serum CA724 levels in patients with unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma were remarkably higher than those with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma (P < 0.001). Patients with elevated serum CA724 levels exhibited a 12.27-fold higher risk of unresectability than those with normal serum CA724 levels after adjusting for age, sex, and tumor location (95% CI = 5.28-28.51, P < 0.001). The analysis of receiver operating characteristics demonstrated that CA724 had superior predictive value to other tumor markers (AUC was 0.77 ± 0.03, 0.65 ± 0.04, and 0.62 ± 0.04 for CA724, CA125, and CA199, respectively). CA724 appeared to be a better predictor of unresectability than CA199 and CA125.
