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.
