Objective. To analyze data on the use of blood proteins, traditional cancer markers, in the diagnosis and prediction of disease recurrence in non–small cell lung cancer. Results. The review summarizes literature data on the use of tumor-associated blood proteins CYFRA 21-1 (cytokeratin fragment 19), SCC (squamous cell carcinoma antigen), NSE (neuron-specific enolase), REA (cancer embryonic antigen), PKM2 (pyruvate kinase M2) and ProGRP (progastrin releasing peptide) as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis the return of the disease in non-small cell lung cancer. Conclusions. Traditional cancer markers are not very effective in diagnosing and predicting the return of the disease in non-small cell lung cancer.
