We studied 90 patients with small-cell lung cancer in whom levels of Pro-GRP were abnormally high before therapy. Changes in the serum Pro-GRP level have been said to correlate strongly with therapeutic responses in patients with small-cell lung cancer. We found that changes in the serum Pro-GRP level (half-life > or = 30 vs < 30 days) were a significant prognostic factor. Multivariate analysis showed that in these patients the Pro-GRP level after therapy, Performance Status, and age were independent prognostic factors.
我们研究了90例小细胞肺癌患者,这些患者在治疗前Pro-GRP水平异常升高。血清Pro-GRP水平的变化据说与小细胞肺癌患者的治疗反应密切相关。我们发现血清Pro-GRP水平的变化(半衰期≥30天与<30天)是一个重要的预后因素。多变量分析显示,在这些患者中,治疗后的Pro-GRP水平、体能状态和年龄是独立的预后因素。
