Effect of chemotherapy on serum ABCG2 level of non-small cell lung cancer / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the change of the serum ABCG2 level of patients with non‐small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)be‐fore and after chemotherapy ,and explore its clinical significance .Methods Venous blood specimens of 15 healthy adults and 50 pa‐tients with NSCLC were collected before and chemotherapy ,the serum ABCG2 level of these specimens were detected by ELISA . the relation between the ABCG2 level and the chemosensitivity was investigated .Results The serum ABCG2 level of patients with NSCLC before chemotherapy was significantly higher than that in healthy adults(P0 .05);among chemoresistant patients ,the serum ABCG2 level of patients with NSCLC after chemotherapy was significantly higher than that of before(P0 .05) .Conclusion The serum ABCG2 level of patients with NSCLC is higher than that of healthy adults ;serum ABCG2 level may become a useful indicator in predicting the effect of NSCLC chemotherapy .
