The Combination of CA125 and NSE Is Useful for Predicting Liver Metastasis of Lung Cancer

Figure 5

The corresponding cutoff value divided patients into two parts in the LM group and NLM group, respectively. Notes: in the LM group, 45% of patients’ CA125 levels were above the cutoff value (53 U/mL) while only 28% of participants were higher than 53 in the NLM group. 42% of patients’ NSE levels were above the cutoff value (23.4 U/mL) while only 27% of that in the NLM group. Abbreviations: CA: carbohydrate antigen; NSE: neuron-specific enolase; LM: liver metastasis; NLM: nonliver metastasis.
