Abstract

Introduction. Immunoenzyme assay of biochemical markers is one of the most important methods for examination of pa- tients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Along with the generally accepted NET marker chromogranin A (CgA), another member of the granin family, chromogranin B (CgB), can serve as a complementary marker.

Objectives. Analysis of CgB as an additional to CgA biochemical marker in the blood serum of patients with gastric and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

Materials and methods. We examined 79 patients with gastic (= 14) and pancretic (= 65) NETS, and 42 particularly healthy people, who were included in the control group. CgB and CgA were determined with ELISA method using the Human Chromogranin B (USCN, China) and Chromogranin A NEOLISA (Eurodiagnostica, Sweden) test systems.

Results. CgB levels in gastric and pancreatic NETs were significantly higher than in control group. CgB concentrations were independent of tumor spread and its biological activity. ROC analysis in common group of NETs relative to control group showed AUC for CgB = 0.869 and for CgA AUC = 0.82. According to results in common group of NET patients when used isolated, CgA and CgB have comparable diagnostic sensitivity, which increases in complex use to 82.5 %. In the group of NET patients with low levels of CgA (<100 ng/ml), an increase in CgB concentration above the cut-off level (>15.7 ng/ml) was observed in 53.6 % of cases.

Conclusion. The combination of CgB and CgA in gastric and pancreatic NETs could increase the diagnostic efficacy of bio- chemical diagnostics. The received data confirms the significance of CgB as a complementary biomarker of NETs.
