[Neuron-specific serum enolase in patients with non-tumor pathologies]
Abstract
In this brief communication, the authors indicate that amounts of neuron-specific enolase higher than 30 ng/ml are observed only in 1% of non-tumoral processes, and that when found in patients with respiratory symptoms a microcytic carcinoma of the lung can be suspected in 97% of the cases.
