AB  - The significance of neuron specific enolase (NSE) was investigated in comparison 
      with other tumor markers (CEA, CT, CA 15-3) used in the diagnosis and treatment 
      monitoring of lung cancer. As previously described, the calcitonin assay proved 
      to have very low sensitivity for small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The serum NSE 
      assay was, however, shown to be a useful diagnostic aid for discrimination 
      between histologically different lung cancers, and therefore this assay may be a 
      valuable tool for treatment monitoring in SCLC patients. CA 15-3, also an 
      unspecific marker, showed similar sensitivity to the NSE assay in SCLC patients, 
      the sensitivity being higher than CEA in non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
