Abstract
This study aimed to explore the value of color Doppler ultrasonography combined with carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) in differential diagnosis of gastric stromal tumor (GST) and gastric cancer (GC). An analysis of the clinical data of 180 patients with clinically suspected gastric space occupying lesions. According to the postoperative pathological results, 180 suspected gastric space-occupying lesion patients were divided into GST group (n = 83) and GC group (n = 97). Color Doppler ultrasonography, serum tumor markers CEA and CA19-9 were compared. The research results showed that serum CEA and CA19-9 levels were lower in patients with GST group than those with GC group (both P < 0.001). With postoperative pathology as the gold standard, detection rates of GST and GC by combination of color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS), serum CEA, and CA19-9 were higher than those of each index alone (both P < 0.001). There was no difference between detection rates of GST and GC by combination of CDUS, serum CEA, and CA19-9 (P = 0.058). Color Doppler ultrasonography combined with serum tumor markers CEA and CA19-9 tests has a certain differential diagnostic value for GST and GC, which may provide a reliable reference basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
