welcomes you to the new, improved website!A case-control study within a large screening trial was performed to evaluate the relationship of serum inflammation markers and lung cancer. Of 68 evaluable markers, 11 were found to have a significant association with lung cancer. Increasing marker levels were associated with increasing cancer risk. The findings were unrelated to cell type and smoking status.
