BACKGROUND: Circulating proteins released by tumor cells have recently been investigated as potential single surrogate biomarkers for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The aim of the current hypothesis-generating study was to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic role of preoperative insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2 (IGFBP-2), chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40), and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) plasma levels in patients with GBM, both as single markers and as a combined profile. METHODS: Plasma samples from 111 patients with GBM and a subset of 40 patients with nonglial brain tumors were obtained preoperatively. Plasma from 99 healthy controls was also analyzed. IGFBP-2, YKL-40, and GFAP levels were determined using enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay tests. Their association with histological and radiological variables was assessed. RESULTS: Circulating levels of all 3 proteins were found to be significantly higher in patients with GBM compared with healthy controls (P < .01). Only YKL-40 and GFAP were found to demonstrate significant differences between patients with GBM and nonglial brain tumors (P 5.04). GFAP was undetectable (.1 .04 .04

Plasma Protein Levels in Patients With GBM, Patients With Nonglial Tumors, and Healthy Controls

For IGFBP-2, the mean preoperative plasma levels were significantly higher in patients with GBM (435.0 pg/ mL 6 387.2 pg/mL) and in those with nonglial brain tumors (341.1 pg/mL 6 207.7 pg/mL) compared with in healthy subjects (184.0 pg/mL 6 154.6 pg/mL) (all P.10) (Fig. 1A). For YKL-40, the mean value of the preoperative plasma concentration was significantly higher in patients with GBM (76.1 ng/mL 6 61.6 ng/mL) and in patients with nonglial brain tumors (52.7 ng/mL 6 59.5 ng/mL) compared with healthy subjects (25.6 ng/mL 6 26.5 ng/ mL) (all P
