The invention discloses a
protein marker combination for predicting papillary
thyroid carcinoma lateral cervical
lymph node metastasis and a
screening method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of biological
medicine. The marker combination comprises 31 proteins, namely VWA8, PDHX, DENR, ATP5MG, SFTPB, MAOA, PHB1, CHI3L1, ACAA2, PTPN9, AFM, ACADVL, HSPE1, PPP2R2A, REEP5, FABP5, NME3, AUH, TMEM214, NDUFAF2, PHB2, FUCA2, PAXX, APOO, TMEM109, CHID1, MAGT1, ARL8B, BCAP29, AFG3L2 and MTCH2, in total. According to the method, multiple independent
proteomics queues are integrated, direction consistency and performance screening are combined, a high-stability candidate marker
library is constructed, a prediction model is constructed based on
machine learning, and excellent prediction performance is shown in multiple
verification sets. The method can be used for evaluating the preoperative lateral cervical
lymph node metastasis risk of papillary
thyroid carcinoma, and has an important clinical transformation value.
