Abstract: Objective To investigate the application value of combined detection of AFP and CEA in the diagnosis of primary hepatic carcinoma and metastatic hepatic carcinoma. Methods Total of 98 patients with pathologically diagnosed liver cancer were divided into primary liver cancer group (56 cases), metastatic liver cancer group (42 cases) and the healthy physical examination for the same period were taken as control group (30 cases). The electrochemical luminescence method was applied to detect serum AFP and CEA concentration, and analyzed the results were analyzed. Results Serum AFP and CEA concentration of primary liver cancer group and metastatic liver cancer group were significantly higher than those of control group (all P < 0.05), serum AFP of primary liver cancer group was significantly higher than that of metastatic liver cancer group (P = 0.012), and CEA concentration of metastatic liver cancer group was significantly higher than primary liver cancer group and control group (both P < 0.01). Conclusions Combined detection of AFP and CEA can differentially diagnose primary hepatic carcinoma and metastatic hepatic carcinoma, which has a certain significance to identify the type of hepatic carcinoma.
