Understanding NSE (Neuron Specific Enolase), Serum
Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) is a protein enzyme involved in energy metabolism, normally found in nerve cells and neuroendocrine tissues. Under normal conditions, only very small amounts of NSE circulate in the blood. Elevated levels, however, can indicate nerve cell damage or abnormal growth of neuroendocrine tumors.
The NSE (Neuron Specific Enolase), Serum test measures the level of NSE in the blood and is primarily used as a tumor marker for small cell lung cancer and neuroblastoma, a type of cancer that arise...
