Table 3.
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).
