Abstract:
Objective To observe the predicting value of serum osteocalcin level for bone metastasis. Methods Apply CAP system to detect the serum osteocalcin level of seventy primary lung cancer patients and eighteen normal subjects.The results showed that the serum osteocalcin level had no significant difference betwween lung cancer patients and normal subjects, and also among different cell types of lung cancer(P>0.05).The osteocalcin level of lung cancer patients with bone metastasis were signcantly higher than those without bone metastasis(P<0.05). Conclusion Serum osteocalcin level had reference value in the predicting of bone metastasis of lung cancer.
