A few prospective studies demonstrated that bilirubin levels were inversely associated with the risk of lung cancer. However, the retrospective study about the relationship between bilirubin levels and lung cancer in China was not available. So, we want to know whether there has a difference in serum bilirubin concentrations between normal people and lung cancer patients.
