Increased stathmin in serum as a potential tumor marker for lung adenocarcinoma

Stathmin has been found to be involved in malignant tumors; the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum stathmin and clinico-pathological features of lung cancer.In three lung cancer cell lines, stathmin expression and its secretion level in the supernatant were examined by Western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Expression of stathmin was examined by immunohistochemistry in 48 lung cancer tissues,...
