Abstract

Objective To investigate the practical value of tumor specific growth factors(TSGF) in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.Methods Serum TSGF was measured by chromatometry in 86 patients with lung cancer,48 patients with benign pulmonary diseases and 42 healthy people.Results Serum TSGF levels were significantly elevated in patients with lung cancer as compared with patients with benign pulmonary diseases and healthy people(P0.05).After treatment,serum TSGF levels were significantly decreased in patients with lung cancer.The sensitivity and specificity of TSGF for the diagnosis of lung cancer was 81.4 % and 80.0%,respectively.Conclusion Serum TSGF has a high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of lung cancer.It is of value to the early diagnosis and effectiveness evaluation of lung cancer.
