Abstract
BACKGROUND

Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor. Early detection and diagnosis are crucial for the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer.

AIM

To develop a blood index panel that may improve the diagnostic value for discriminating gastric cancer and gastric polyps.

METHODS

Thirteen tumor-related detection indices, 38 clinical biochemical indices and 10 cytokine indices were examined in 139 gastric cancer patients and 40 gastric polyp patients to build the model. An additional 68 gastric cancer patients and 22 gastric polyp patients were enrolled for validation. After area under the curve evaluation and univariate and multivariate analyses.

RESULTS

Five tumor-related detection indices, 12 clinical biochemical indices and 1 cytokine index showed significant differences between the gastric cancer and gastric polyp groups. Carbohydrate antigen (CA) 724, phosphorus (P) and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) were included in the blood index panel, and the area under the curve (AUC) of the index panel was 0.829 (0.754, 0.905). After validation, the AUC was 0.811 (0.700, 0.923). Compared to the conventional index CA724, the blood index panel showed significantly increased diagnostic value.

CONCLUSION

We developed an index model that included CA724, P and IMA to discriminate the gastric cancer and gastric polyp groups, which may be a potential diagnostic method for clinical practice.

Core Tip: Early diagnosis and early treatment of gastric cancer is the key to improving the survival and cure rates of patients. Therefore, early detection and diagnosis are crucial for the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer. In this study, the we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of the blood index panel for gastric cancer.
