Abstract

Objective To assess the prognostic value of serum lysine hydroxylase 3 (PLOD3) and cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1) in predicting the efficacy of three-dimensional brachytherapy in patients with pulmonary metastases. Methods A total of 102 patients with lung metastases who underwent three-dimensional brachytherapy at our hospital were selected as the lung metastasis group from August 2021 to August 2023. During the same period, a control group consisting of 60 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations was selected. The lung metastasis group was further divided into an effective group (n = 66) and an ineffective group (n = 36) based on therapeutic outcomes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the levels of serum PLOD3 and CYFRA21-1. Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors influencing the efficacy of three-dimensional brachytherapy in the lung metastasis group. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the predictive value of serum PLOD3 and CYFRA21-1 for treatment efficacy. Results The levels of serum PLOD3 and CYFRA21-1 in the case group were (34.47 ± 6.17) μg/L, (27.85 ± 5.14) μg/L, respectively, which exhibited significantly higher values compared to those observed in the control group (7.26 ± 2.21)μg/L,(9.31 ± 2.46)μg/L (P < 0.05). A positive correlation was found between serum PLOD3 and CYFRA21-1 in the Lung metastasis group (r = 0.667, P = 0.000). Logistic regression analysis revealed that multiple metastatic lesions along with elevated serum levels of PLOD3 and CYFRA21-1 were identified as risk factors for the efficacy of three-dimensional brachytherapy in patients with lung metastases (P < 0.05). Furthermore, when combined with three-dimensional brachytherapy, the area under the curve (AUC) for serum PLOD3 and CYFRA21-1 was calculated as 0.868, demonstrating a superior performance compared to individual measurements of either serum PLOD3 alone (AUC = 0.815) or CYFRA21-1 alone (P < 0.05). Conclusions The levels of serum PLOD3 and CYFRA21-1 are elevated in patients with lung metastases, exhibiting a significant correlation with the efficacy of three-dimensional brachytherapy. The combined utilization of these two biomarkers demonstrates a robust predictive value for treatment efficacy in patients suffering from lung metastases.
