Computed tomography with carcinoembryonic antigen and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 in diagnosing lymph node metastasis of early gastric cancer
Key Points
Early gastric cancer detection improved with combined CT imaging and biomarkers.
The combination of imaging and two specific biomarkers increases sensitivity for lymph node metastasis detection.
Assessing lymph node metastasis involved using advanced imaging techniques with specific cancer markers.
This study supports the clinical value of personalized treatment planning for gastric cancer patients.
Abstract
The combination of CT with CEA or CA19-9 improves sensitivity for detecting LNM in EGC, supporting personalized treatment planning and demonstrating clinical value.
