Diagnostic Value of Serum D-Dimer for Detection of Gallbladder Carcinoma.
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that D-dimer plays an essential role in the occurrence and development of various tumors, and its diagnostic value in gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is unknown. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to explore the diagnostic value of D-dimer in distinguishing between gallbladder carcinoma and benign controls.
METHODS: We retrospectively included age and gender-matched patients with gallbladder carcinoma and benign gallbladder lesions, and analyzed the diagnostic value of inflammatory markers, D-dimers, and tumor biomarkers by receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC).
RESULTS: The area under the ROC curve of white blood cells (WBC), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), D-dimer, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) were 0.600, 0.760, 0.729, 0.849, 0.502, 0.699, and 0.802, respectively. The combined diagnostic value of D-dimer and CA19-9 was 0.920, which was superior to other joint indicators.
CONCLUSION: Serum D-dimer may be considered as a potential biomarker for detection of GBC. Moreover, the combined diagnosis of D-dimer and CA19-9 has excellent diagnostic value in gallbladder carcinoma.
