Abstract
This study analyses retrospectively the plasma level of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) performed in 236 patients presenting for the diagnosis of a bronchopulmonary disease. Taking a cut off on 15 ng/L, 61 (64 %) of the 95 patients sharing a small cell lung cancer (SCLC) (45 % of those with a limited disease and 90 % with an extensive disease) hut 8(13%) of 60 with a non small cell lung cancer patients and 0 % of those with a benign bronchopulmonary disease showed an abnormal value of NSE. Therefore in this group of patients, the diagnosis of SCLC could be assessed with a sensitivity of 64% and a specificity of 94% in patients with an NSE plasma level above 15 Mg/L In addition, the interest of sequential dosages of NSE for the monitoring of SCLC patients is also stressed.
