Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) frequently presents as metastatic disease. It would be useful to detect serum tumor biomarkers at an earlier stage in order to improve the overall survival. Materials and Methods: Serum samples from SCLC patients (6 limited disease , 7 extensive disease, 4 relapsed disease, 4 no evidence of disease post- treatment) and 5 normal controls were used to identify tumor biomarkers utilizing proteomics. Serum hepatocyte growth factor was also studied using standard ELISA. Results: Utilizing MALDI-TOF-Mass Spectrometry (MS) based protein identification techniques, a SCLC specific overexpressed protein was identified to be haptoglobin ·-subunit, with its serum level correlating with the disease stage. The mean level of ·-haptoglobin was increased in SCLC serum as compared to the normal controls. Serum HGF was also studied as potential tumor biomarker and was found to correlate with the disease status. Either serum ·-haptoglobin relative level (above 1.9 U), or HGF level (above 500 pg/ml) was associated with a trend towards worse survival. Conclusion: Our current findings suggest that serum levels of ·-haptoglobin and HGF may serve as useful serum tumor biomarkers in SCLC. It would now also be useful to determine if these serum biomarkers are altered in response to therapy for this disease. In the United States, there will be greater than 171,900 projected new cases of lung cancer in 2003. It is estimated that there will be 157,200 deaths related to lung cancer for this year (1). The most aggressive form of lung cancer is
