Objective To systematically review the diagnostic value of the combined test of serum CA153, CA125 and CEA in detection of breast cancer. Methods Clinical diagnostic tests about CA153, CA125 and CEA in patients with breast cancer were retrieved in PubMed, EMbase, CBM, The Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2014), CNKI, VIP, and WanFang Data from January 1st, 2004 to April 16st, 2014. References of included literature were also retrieved. Literature screening according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, data extraction and methodological quality assessment were completed by two reviewers independently. Meta-analysis was then conducted using Meta-Disc 1.4 software. Results A total of 21 studies involving 4 263 subjects were enrolled. In all studies, the results of meta-analysis indicated that:the DOR, AUC and Q index of the single test (CA153) were 18.71 (95%CI 11.62 to 30.11), 0.858 9, and 0.789 7; while those of the combined test (CA153, CA125 and CEA) were 37.95 (95%CI 21.97 to 65.57), 0.959 1, 0.903 1. Compared with the single test, the diagnostic efficacy of the combined test was higher (Z=3.675, P=0.001 5). Conclusion Compared with the detection of CA153 alone, the combined detection of CA125, CA153 and CEA has higher efficacy and accuracy in the diagnosis of breast cancer.
