title: Biomarkers and IL-2R in lung cancer.
abstract: A study of TPA, CEA and IL-2R serum levels was conducted in patients untreated with various histological types of bronchial carcinoma. A total of 43 subjects were evaluated. We have observed a significant correlation between serum levels and stage of the disease for both CEA and TPA markers, whereas for IL-2R an increase was shown for the all patients not correlated with stage.
