Résumé
The study included 24 patients of lung cancer with bone metastasis, 26 patients of lung cancer without bone metastasis and 27 healthy controls. The serum levels of β-crosslaps of type Ⅰ collagen (β-CTX), M-MID and urinary β-CTX/creatinine (CTX/CR) were measured by ELISA. Results showed that the serum levels of β-CTX and urinary CTX/CR in lung cancer patients with bone metastasis were significantly higher than those without bone metastasis (P < 0. 01 ). The findings suggest that the measurement of serum β-CTX and urinary CTX/CR may indicate bone metastasis in lung cancer.
