Abstract

The aim of this research was to develop a lung cancer diagnostic and predictive model that integrates traditional laboratory indicators with tumor markers. This model is intended to facilitate early screening and assist in the process of identifying or detecting lung cancer through a cost-effective, rapid, and convenient approach, ultimately enhancing the early detection rate of lung cancer. A retrospective study was conducted on 66 patients diagnosed with lung cancer and 159 patients with benign pulmonary conditions. Data including general clinical information, conventional laboratory test results, and tumor marker levels were collected. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0 (Statistical Product and Service Solutions 26.0). The lung cancer diagnosis and prediction model is created using a composite index established through binary logistic regression. The combined diagnostic prediction models, incorporating both traditional indicators and tumor markers, demonstrated a greater area under the curve (AUC) when compared to the diagnostic prediction model based solely on tumor markers and their combination testing. The values of cut-off point, AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative detection rate and accuracy rate are 0.1805, 0.959, 86.67%, 0.955, 0.830, 95.45%, 83.02% and 89.33 respectively and it is shown that the combined diagnostic model display notable efficacy and clinical relevance in aiding the early diagnosis of lung cancer.
