Correlation between biomarkers and symptom scores in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
| Biomarkers | Symptoms | |
|---|---|---|
| Correlation | P-value | |
| TGF-β1 (ng/dl) | r = 0.117 | 0.262 |
| SMAD2 (ng/dl) | r = 0.032 | 0.755 |
| Wnt3a (ng/dl) | r = –0.007 | 0.943 |
| CTNN-β1 (ng/dl) | r = –0.032 | 0.753 |
TGF-β1 – transforming growth factor β1, SMAD2 – mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 2, Wnt3a – wingless-related integration site, CTNN-β1 – β-catenin
