ANGPT2 and non-small cell lung carcinoma: However, Kabalak et al. [25] used the ELISA method to measure serum VEGF and Ang-2 levels collected from 100 lung cancer patients (87 NSCLC) and then found that VEGF and Ang-2 showed a weak positive correlation; in addition, a higher Ang-2 level in patients may be useful for differential diagnosis, whereas there was no relation between Ang-2 levels and survival days significantly.
