| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we found several urinary protein fragments, which are early diagnosis markers for brain metastasis and bone metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma. These protein fragments are thought to be produced by cancer specific proteinase activity.
Some of these protein fragments are from alpha-1-microglobulin/bikunin precursor.
