Implication

Prealbumin levels were lower in cancer and inflammation; leaves open its biomarker utility in smokers pending prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Are Gc globulin and prealbumin serum levels altered in patients with cancer or benign inflammatory diseases compared to healthy smokers?

Population

200 individuals, comprising 100 patients with cancer (lung, prostate gland, or gastrointestinal tract), 50 patients with benign inflammatory diseases from the same organs, and 50 clinically healthy smokers.

Outcome

Gc globulin and prealbumin serum concentrationssurrogate

Prealbumin, but not Gc globulin, serum levels are decreased in patients with cancer and benign inflammatory diseases compared to healthy smokers.
