We investigated the diagnostic value of the tumor marker CA724 in patients with primary gastric cancer. One hundred forty-six patients with primary gastric cancer were selected as the observation group; 89 patients with gastritis treated in the same period were included in the control group 1; 91 patients with healthy physical examination during the same period were included in the control group 2. Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay was used to determine the level of carbohydrate antigen CA724 in each group; the pathological data of the observation group were consulted, and the expression level of tumor marker CA724 under different pathological conditions was analyzed; ROC curve was drawn to evaluate the diagnostic value of CA724 in gastric cancer and gastritis. The level of CA724 in primary gastric cancer patients was significantly correlated with tumor diameter, tumor stage, differentiation type, and lymph node metastasis. The ROC curve was drawn with a CA724 cutoff value of 7.94 U/Ml. The AUC value of CA724 in primary gastric cancer patients was 0.815, with a diagnostic sensitivity of 84.68% and a specificity of 71.95%. In conclusion, CA724 was highly expressed in patients with primary gastric cancer, which can achieve the diagnostic differentiation of gastric cancer and gastritis, and obtain a high diagnostic efficiency, providing a reference basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
