Introduction
CA72-4 is a tumor marker (TM) that has been found elevated in a variety of human adenocarcinomas, with reported sensitivities of up 50% and overall specificity of over 95%. carbohydrate antigen 72-4 is elevated in normal people and patients with malignancies, including gastrointestinal malignancies, ovarian malignancies, endometrium malignancies, lung malignancies and so on. Besides, researches showed that elevated serum CA72-4 might predict digestive tumors, especially gastric tumors, although there was still neither sensitive nor specific tumor biomarker for gastric cancer. The diagnostic performance of serum CA72-4 as a biomarker in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer has been assessed by pooled sensitivity, specificity and hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic curve (HSROC).
