To investigate if the TFF1, TFF2, TFF3 proteins have varying expressions in several types of lung cancers and healthy individuals, total protein samples were extracted from each of the 60 healthy individuals and 130 lung cancer patients (squamous cell lung carcinoma cases, n=58; adenocarcinoma cases, n=43; SCLC cases, n=29). The gene discussed is TFF3; the disease is small cell lung carcinoma.
