Assessment of diagnostic efficacy: High fluorescent cells combined with CEA, NSE, and Cyfra21-1 in Malignant Pleural Effusion Identification
HFC, CEA, NSE, and Cyfra21-1 are valuable diagnostic markers for MPE, with optimal cutoff values of 17.5 × 10<sup>6</sup>/L, 5.78 ng/mL, 10.97 ng/mL, and 34.61 ng/mL, respectively. The HFC+CEA combinations enhanced diagnostic sensitivity and clinical utility.
