TAG-72 is a tumor-associated antigen identified by the monoclonal antibody B72.3. Serum levels of TAG-72 were measured in patients with non-malignant and malignant disease. TAG-72 is not a specific marker of cancer and slightly elevated levels of this antigen can also be detected in the serum of healthy subjects. However, our results show that specificity (92%) and positive predictive value (86%) of this marker are very high. TAG-72 levels above the cut-off limit of 6 U/mL were found in patients with tumors of various organs, including gastrointestinal, ovarian, lung and breast cancer. TAG-72 assay sensitivity is related to tumor stage with values being highest with advanced disease, especially in patients with gastric cancer and lung adenocarcinoma.

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.

D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
