Popis: Background: Early detection of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and accurate prognostic risk assessment could improve patient outcome. We examined the significance of urinary N1, N12-diacetylspermine (DiAcSpm) in the detection and prognostic stratification of NSCLC patients. Methods: A DiAcSpm/cutoff ratio (DASr) was established for 260 NSCLC patients, 99 benign lung disease patients, and 140 healthy volunteers, using colloidal gold aggregation methods. The DASr was compared between patients and healthy controls, and the prognostic significance of DASr was examined. Results: The median urinary DASr of NSCLC patients was significantly higher than that of healthy controls (0.810 vs 0.534, P
