Student's t test showed that high serum level of EMMPRIN was found in NSCLC patients (101.93±15.01 pg/mL), whereas it was lowly expressed in control group (59.04±10.97 pg/mL), indicating that the serum level of EMMPRIN was higher in NSCLC patients than that in control individuals (p < 0.001) (Table 3). Here, BSG is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
