Abstract 1302
Background
This study prospectively evaluated the performance of an apolipoprotein A2 isoform (ApoA2-ATQ/AT) in combination with carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) as early detection biomarkers for pancreatic cancer.
Methods
Using ELISA, we measured CA19-9 and ApoA2-ATQ/AT in plasma samples collected ≤60 months before diagnosis from 159 pancreatic cancer patients and 217 matched controls within the EPIC (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition) cohort. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, and C-statistics were calculated for risk scores by strata of the time before diagnosis.
Results
The C-statistics of CA19-9 and CA19-9+ApoA2-ATQ/AT for distinguishing pancreatic cancer patients from cancer-free individuals were 0.87 and 0.68, respectively, for samples taken ≤6 months before diagnosis, and 0.74 and 0.72, respectively, for samples taken <6 to 18 months before diagnosis. The joint diagnostic model using CA19-9+ApoA2-ATQ/AT showed significantly improved diagnostic discrimination in samples taken ≤18 months before diagnosis. Before diagnosis, the specificity of CA19-9+ApoA2-ATQ/AT was 98%, while the sensitivities of CA19-9+ApoA2-ATQ/AT were 57%, 36%, and 43%, respectively, and those of CA19-9 alone were 50%, 29%, and 36%, respectively. This joint model also showed significantly improved C-statistics for the diagnostic discrimination of samples taken >6 to 18 months (0.80 for CA19-9+ApoA2-ATQ/AT, 0.74 for CA19-9; p = 0.004) and ≤18 months (0.8 for CA19-9+ApoA2-ATQ/AT, 0.78 for CA19-9; p = 0.003) before diagnosis.
Conclusions
Compared to CA19-9 alone, CA19-9+ApoA2-ATQ/AT showed improved diagnostic discrimination for early detection ≤18 months before diagnosis. This plasma biomarker panel may provide a useful first measure for detecting pancreatic cancer prior to imaging. We have reported those results on behalf of the EPIC Europe.
