In non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients, total protein (TP) was negatively correlated with SUVmax (R2=-0.081, r= -0.28), while in lung cancer patients, there was a significant positive correlation with regression correlation coefficients (R2 = 0.026, 0.024, 0.024, and 0.018 for ALT/AST, TP, ALP, albumin, and ALT, respectively). This evidence concerns the gene ALB and lung cancer.
