Netrin-1 is found to be elevated and usable as a diagnostic biomarker in many human cancers.
We evaluated serum Netrin-1 concentrations in patients with advanced gastric cancer compared with those in a healthy group.
Thirty patients with advanced gastric cancer and thirty healthy people were included in the study. Serum netrin-1 concentrations were measured by quantitative ELISA method in both groups.
The mean serum Netrin-1 concentrations were found to be significantly higher in patients with gastric cancer than in healthy controls. The mean serum Netrin-1 concentrations were found to be significantly higher in patients with gastric cancer before the beginning of chemotherapy when compared after the completion of third cycle.
Our results indicated that netrin-1 concentrations elevated in advanced gastric cancer compared to a healthy control group and netrin-1 concentrations decreased with chemotherapy.
神经导向因子 1(Netrin-1)在许多人类癌症中升高,并可用作诊断生物标志物。
我们评估了晚期胃癌患者与健康组相比的血清 Netrin-1 浓度。
研究纳入了 30 例晚期胃癌患者和 30 名健康人。两组均采用定量 ELISA 法检测血清 netrin-1 浓度。
与健康对照组相比,胃癌患者的血清 Netrin-1 浓度明显更高。与完成第三个周期后相比,化疗前胃癌患者的血清 Netrin-1 浓度明显更高。
我们的结果表明,与健康对照组相比,晚期胃癌患者的 netrin-1 浓度升高,并且 netrin-1 浓度随化疗而降低。
