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

Table 7

The cutoff value, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of NSE in predicting the HM in metastatic lung cancer.

Factor	Cutoff value	Sensitivity	Specificity	AUC	value
NSE	23.2	43.3%	73.9%	0.58	0.023

Note: the sensitivity and specificity were calculated at the point of Youden’s index. indicates statistical significance. Abbreviations: AUC: area under the curve; NSE: neuron-specific enolase; HM: hepatic metastasis.
