Table 3. Area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and corresponding cut-off values for cfDNA concentration and cfDNA 100–250 bp fragment fraction for assessing tumor stage in advanced or metastatic NSCLC TKI-naïve patients.

Parameter AUC AUC 95% CI P value Cut-off Sensitivity (%) Specificity (%)
cfDNA concentration (ng/mL) 0.86 0.79–0.93 <0.0001 20.3 72.3 95
100–250 bp cfDNA fraction (%) 0.71 0.59–0.83 0.013 50.5 36.8 95

The table shows the cut-off value and the corresponding sensitivity of each parameter maintaining a specificity of 95% for the test. cfDNA, circulating-free DNA; bp, base pairs, AUC, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; CI, confidence interval.
