BACKGROUND Components of the extracellular matrix play a fundamental role in the process of tumor invasion. The objective of this study was to evaluate the value of Type I collagen metabolites as tumor markers in patients with lung carcinoma. METHODS In this study, the serum concentrations of the cross-linked carboxyterminal telopeptide of Type I collagen (ICTP) and the aminoterminal propeptide of Type I collagen (PINP) were measured in 59 consecutive patients with lung carcinoma. The blood concentrations of neuron-specific enolase (NSE), carcinoembryogenic antigen (CEA), sialyl Le-1 antigen (SLX), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC), and D-dimer were also evaluated. Data obtained on 18 age-matched healthy subjects and 12 age-matched patients with benign lung disease were available for comparison. RESULTS The serum concentrations of PINP were significantly higher in patients with lung carcinoma than in age-matched controls. Prechemotherapy values of PINP and ICTP were significantly increased in patients who did not respond to chemotherapy compared with those who did respond. PINP and ICTP were significantly correlated with clinical stage, extent of bone metastasis, survival time, and D-dimer. PINP was also significantly correlated with tumor size. ICTP was significantly correlated with CEA, SLX, SCC, and NSE. PINP also tended to correlate with these tumor-associated glycoproteins. PINP had a better receiver operating characteristic curve than ICTP. The specificity of PINP (79%) for the diagnosis of bone metastasis was superior to that of ICTP (58%). CONCLUSIONS The results of this study showed that, in addition to the important information that ICTP and PINP provide about the tumor cell-extracellular matrix interaction, they appear to be of great value as adjunct tools for the diagnosis of bone metastasis and as markers of the clinical response to therapy, clinical progression, and prognosis in lung carcinoma patients. However, more studies must be conducted to evaluate further the utility of these markers before their application in clinical practice.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.
