Background: The Ki-67 protein is a biomarker associated with cell proliferation and from some literature it can be valuable negative prognostic factor in non-small cell lung cancer. We investigated the Ki-67 protein expression in resected non-small cell lung cancer to evaluated the impact on clinicopathological characteristics and postoperative prognosis. Material and Method: Using monoclonal …
