In patients with lung adenocarcinoma, only a few parameters are described as a prognostic factors such as stage of disease, tumor metabolism, high GLUT1 expression and performance status (de Geus-Qei et al., 2007;Andersen et al., 2011).Serum total proteins contain albumin, globulins and other inflammatory proteins such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukins and tumor necrosis factors (McPherson et al., 2006). Albumin and globulins play a pivotal role in the inflammatory process . Serum albumin is also an objective parameter that reflects the degree of long-term nutrition status (Laky et al., 2007
