Objective To investigate the correlation among expression of serum VEGF without operation between pre-and post-chemoradiotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, to explore the correlation of markers on prognosis and effect. Methods The serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were detected in 50 patients without operation between pre-and post-chemoradiotherapy with NSCLC by ELISA method. The group t-test was played into before concurrent chemoradiotherapy and normal control. The paired t-test was played into before and after concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Results The prechemoradiotherapy serum VEGF ( 241.09 ± 52.45 ) ng/L in NSCLC patients was significantly higher than those in normal control patients (103.72 ± 39. 22) ng/L (t = 2. 50,P <0. 05 ). The pre-chemoradiotherapy serum VEGF in NSCLC patients was closely related to pTNM stage, distant metastasis, grade of cell differentiation and the size of the primary tumors ( t = 9. 61 - 14. 94, all P < 0. 05 ), but not to the histological classification, type of the tumor, lymph node status, age, gender of the patients or smoking or not (t =0. 58 - 1.84, all P > 0. 05 ). The pre-chemoradiotherapy serum VEGF ( 24 1.09 ± 52. 45 ) ng/L was significantly higher than that of the post-chemoradiotherapy ( 133.64 ± 33.62) ng/L ( t = 12. 20, P < 0. 01 ). The post-chemoradiotherapy serum VEGF decreases to the pre-was the biggest in the CR patients (( 92.35 ± 37.48ng/L) ,t =3.79,P <0. 01 ) ,the smallest in the PA patients ( (276.32 ±47.98) ng/L,t = 1.32,P >0. 05) ) ,and bigger in the PR patients and the NC patientspatients ( ( 113.10 ± 39. 20) ng/L,t = 13.58,P <0. 01 and ( 198.10 ± 42.68 ) ng/L, t = 4. 78, P < 0. 05 ) ), respectively. Conclusions Elevation of serum VEGF exists in patients with NSCLC . The serum VEGF in patients with NSCLC might be helpful to evaluate the biological behavior of lung cancer. Detection of VEGF expression maybe helpful for predicting the prognosis of NSCLC patients.
