Therefore, it is very important to develop new diagnostic methods.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A negative enrichment\u2010fluorescence in situ hybridization (NE\u2010FISH) approach was used to detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with PNs. We evaluated whether or not the combination of CTC counts with serum tumor marker levels (CEA, CA 125, CYFRA 21\u20101, SCC) could improve the diagnostic ability for distinguishing patients with malignant pulmonary nodules (MPNs) from those with benign pulmonary nodules (BPNs). Moreover, the potential clinical application of this combination for the diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) with a diameter \u22642\u2009cm was also investigated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The combination of CTC counts and tumor marker levels had a sensitivity of 80.12% and the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC<jats:sub>ROC<\/jats:sub>) of 0.853 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.800\u20130.897, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) for the differential diagnosis of PNs.
