AB  - The objective was to test the utility of the cytokeratins CYFRA 21-1, tissue 
      polypeptide specific antigen (TPS), Neuron specific enolase (NSE) and Carcino 
      Embryonic antigen (CEA) in patients with lung cancer and in the pleural fluid of 
      the patients with lung cancer and also the predicting ability of these tumor 
      markers with respect to the histological types [including non small cell lung 
      cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC)] and pathological stages. 40 
      normal subjects and 222 cases of histological proven lung cancer were studied. 
      The findings suggest that TPS and CYFRA 21-1, are useful serum markers for the 
      diagnosis of NSCLC and NSE seems to be useful tumor marker for monitoring course 
      of patients especially SCLC. The combined use of these cytokeratin markers TPS 
      and CYFRA 21-1 may provide additional information for prognosis.
