Abstract: Objective To investigate the significance of serum cytokeratin 19 fragment 21-1(CYFRA21-1) changes before and after chemotherapy in monitoring the therapeutic efficacy of advanced stage non small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).   Methods The serum CYFRA21-1 levels of 66 patients with advanced stage NSCLC before and after chemotherapy and 30 healthy controls were measured by chemiluminescence immunoassay,and the change differences of serum CYFRA21-1 in the patients with different therapeutic efficacy were analyzed. Results Compared to those in the controls,serum CYFRA21-1 levels were significantly higher than those in patients before the first-line chemotherapy(P<0.05). Furthermore,the serum CYFRA21-1 levels in patients with squamous cell lung carcinoma were higher than those with pulmonary adenocarcinoma(P<0.05). Compared to those before chemotherapy,serum CYFRA21-1 levels significantly decreased in release group after the first-line chemotherapy(P<0.05). However,compared to those before chemotherapy,serum CYFRA21-1 levels significantly decreased in invalid group and progress group(P<0.05). Conclusions Serum CYFRA21-1 is exactly valuable in monitoring the pathogenetic condition and judging the chemotherapy efficacy of the patients with lung cancer.
