TI  - The role of serum tumour markers to aid the selection of lung cancer patients for 
      surgery and the assessment of prognosis.
PG  - 1461-6
AB  - We have measured the following ten serum proteins in a sample of 290 patients 
      presenting with possible lung cancer: carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), alpha 
      1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin (FER), prealbumin 
      (PAB), third component of complement (C3), immunoglobin E (IgE), alpha 
      2-pregnancy-associated glycoprotein (PAG), beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-m) and 
      retinol binding protein (RBP). It is found that, with the exception of PAG, C3 
      and IgE, there are significant differences between protein concentrations in the 
      subsequently diagnosed cancer and non-cancer patients. However, protein 
      concentrations in the cancer patients who were suitable for surgery do not differ 
      significantly from the concentrations in inoperable patients. The prognostic 
      significance of the proteins in the inoperable and operable cancer patients is 
      also envisaged. In the operable group C3 appears to be useful, whilst AGP and RBP 
      are prognostic indicators in the inoperable group.
