Aim: To explore the application value of serum autoantibodies in the early diagnosis of esophageal cancer. Materials & methods: A total of 130 patients with esophageal cancer and 110 controls were included and tested by ELISA. Results: According to the receiver operating characteristic curve, total sensitivity is 83.08%, total specificity is 72.73%. A nomogram was established based on the positive judgment standard, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was calculated to be 0.880 after verification with the calibration curve. A 2-week follow-up analysis found compared with the preoperative control, the postoperative model integral value will significantly decrease. Conclusion: The combination of serum autoantibody groups has certain clinical application value in the early diagnosis of esophageal cancer and can be used as an auxiliary index for early diagnosis.
