Using a receiver operating characteristic curve and a cutoff point of 9%, the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 88% and 92% for Ki-67, and 92% and 94% for repp86, respectively (Figure 3). The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of BAL-GM was 88 and 87%, respectively, compared with 42% sensitivity for serum GM.
