Metrics of the NETest and CgA.

Test Sensitivity (%) Specificity (%) PPV (%) NPV (%)
NETest (ULN 14%) 93 56 72 86
NETest (ULN 20%) 89 72 79 84
NETest (ULN 27%) 67 89 87 67
CgA 56 83 87 49

The NETest was compared with CgA for detecting GEP-NETs in 140 patients and 113, respectively, 70 controls. Multigene analysis identified GEP-NETs in 93% (N = 130) compared with 56% (N = 77) with CgA (McNemar: p < 0.001). Specificity was significantly better for CgA (83%) compared to the NETest 56% (McNemar: p < 0.001).
