Summary:Plasma AVP level, neurophysins and osmolality have been measured in 10 patients with oat cell carcinoma of the lung but without any biological signs of syndrome of inappropriate secretion of ADH (SIADH), before and 15 mn after an intravenous injection of Ethanol. No statistically significant difference was noted in the AVP, neurophysins and osmolality values between 10 patients with asymptomatic oat cell carcinoma and control population (10 normal volunteers, 12 patients with non neoplasic lung pathology and 10 patients with different lung carcinoma). We concluded that AVP and neurophysins cannot be considered as a good tumoral marker in the detection of oat cell carcinoma of the lung.
