Is Thiol-Disulphide Homeostasis an Indicative Marker in Prediction of Metastasis in Lung Cancer Patients.

Background: Thiol/disulfide (SH/SS) homeostasis plays an essential and dynamic role in our body and in various cellular activities and pathways such as cell death, regulation of enzyme activities, mechanisms of transcription and cellular signal transduction. Lung cancer is the most commonly seen cancer type in the adult population. Therefore, prediction of metastases gains importance in this population.
