    • Abstract

    Background
    The early diagnosis of bone metastasis (BM) may bring improvements of life quality and treatment to cancer patients. Although single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is the most frequently used method for BM screening, it still has some shortages. This study was initiated to investigate the clinical significance of serum BAP, TRACP 5b and ICTP as bone metabolic markers for BM screening in lung cancer patients.

    Methods
    Newly diagnosed advance lung cancer patients with (N=130) and without (N=135) BM were enrolled in present study. In addition, newly diagnosed primary lung cancer patients (N=38) were enrolled as control. Serum BAP, TRACP 5b and ICTP were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) before the initiation of treatment. The differences in concentration of BAP, TRACP 5b and ICTP were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (or Kruskal-Wallis tests when appropriate). The screening effectiveness of BAP, TRACP 5b, ICTP and the combination of TRACP 5b and ICTP was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves analysis in patients with and without BM.

    Results
    For concentrations of BAP, TRACP 5b and ICTP, significant differences was found between patients with and without BM (all P<0.0001), as well as patients with solitary and multiple BM (BAP: P<0.0001, TRACP 5b: P=0.0008, ICTP: P=0.0474). ROC curves analysis reveals the area under curve (AUC) of BAP, TRACP 5b and ICTP was 0.760, 0.753 and 0.835 (all P=0.0001), respectively. The optimal cut-off value for BAP, TRACP 5b and ICTP was 21.8 μg/L (sensitivity=63.1%, specificity=77.0%), 7.8 U/L (sensitivity=58.5%, specificity=80.7%) and 8.8μg/L (sensitivity=63.1%, specificity=90.4%), respectively. When TRACP 5b and ICTP was combined for BM screening , AUC was elevated to 0.895 (P=0.0001), and the optimal cut-off value was TRACP 5b > 7.6 U/L and ICTP >8.4μg/L (sensitivity=71.5%, specificity=93.3%).

    Conclusion
    Our research has demonstrated that serum BAP, TRACP 5b and ICTP may serve as a useful supplement for SPECT in lung cancer BM screening. If the 3 markers can be properly used together with SPECT, BM screening would turn to be more timely and accurate.
