Table 2.

AUC values for disease prediction considering uPA, PAI-1, TF and age1

Biomarker Group N1 AUC
CA/no CA2 CA/benign2 Abnormal/benign2
uPA+PAI-1 All 79 .72 .75 .74
uPA3 Pre 38 .87 .83 .86
TF4 Post 72 .81 .83 .83
TF+uPA All 35 .84 .92 .91
TF+uPA+PAI-1 All 24 1.0 1.0 .97

1AUC: area under the receiver operating curve; uPA: urinary plasminogen activator; PAI (uPA inhibitor)-1, TF: Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen; N = number or sample size. The equivalent values as percent should be multiplied by 100 (i.e., .97 = 97%, and so forth)

2Cancer = ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and invasive cancer; Benign = normal and hyperplasia; Abnormal = atypical hyperplasia, DCIS, and invasive cancer. Age is in all three models

3AUC values for postmenopausal women were lower
