Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical significance of Livin in the diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) through testing the content of inhibitor of apoptosis protein Livin in the serum of NSCLC patients, pneumonia patients and healthy persons. Methods Livin levels in the serum of 85 NSCLC patients, 20 pneumonia patients and 20 healthy persons were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results Livin level in the serum of NSCLC patients was significantly higher than that in pneumonia patients and healthy persons. The serum Livin level was increased following with tumor progress. Livin level in NSCLC patients with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ was higher than that in NSCLC patients with stage Ⅰ - Ⅱ ( P ＜0.05) . Conclusions As an inhibitor of apoptosis protein,Livin has certain clinical value on the diagnosis and prognosis judgement of NSCLC patients. Key words: Inhibitor of apoptosis protein; Livin; Non-small cell lung cancer
