IL-11 and CCL-1: Novel Protein Diagnostic Biomarkers of Lung Adenocarcinoma in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid (BALF)

IL-11 and CCL-1 are highly specific biomarkers with great accuracy for the diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma in BALF specimens. Further study of these proteins as markers for the early diagnosis and screening of plasma and other biological materials is warranted.
