ABSTRACT

Objective To study the clinical values of neuron-specific enolase(NSE) as serum tumor marker in lung cancer.Methods The serum NSE levels in 96 patients with lung cancer,60 patients with begnign pulmonary disease and 60 healthy controls were measured by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results The levels of NSE in serum in patients with lung cancer was significantly higher than those in healthy subjects and patients with begnign lung disease(P0.05).The effective rate of chemotherapy were 87.10%,40.00% and 66.67%, 33.33% in patients with SCLC and NSCLC,respective for NSE positive and negative ones(P
