Popis: Introduction Cripto-1 (CR-1) is highly expressed in several different types of human tumors. However, the clinical significance of CR-1 expression in serum specimens from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients has not yet been determined. Objectives The aim of this study was to explore the diagnostic and prognostic value of serum CR-1 levels in patients with NSCLC. Methods Serum specimens from 592 NSCLC patients, 180 benign lung disease patients and 240 healthy controls were collected. The concentrations of CR-1 were measured by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results Patients with NSCLC had higher serum CR-1 levels than the controls (P
