Özet
Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in both developed and developing countries. The aim of the present study was to compare serum levels of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, ceruloplasmin, transferrin, ferritin, and albumin with tumor stage, distant metastasis, lymphadenopathy, and patient performance status in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer and those with small-cell lung cancer.
