Combined diagnosis of primary lung cancer using immunological tests

To compare the accuracy of diagnosis obtained with different diagnostic techniques the authors examined 187 patients with cancer of the lung clinically, roentgenologically, bronchologically, morphologically and immunologically. X-ray made the diagnosis of lung cancer in 85% of the examinees. This di...

Summary:To compare the accuracy of diagnosis obtained with different diagnostic techniques the authors examined 187 patients with cancer of the lung clinically, roentgenologically, bronchologically, morphologically and immunologically. X-ray made the diagnosis of lung cancer in 85% of the examinees. This diagnosis was confirmed in 87% of the cases. Morphological verification was obtained in 84.4% and 78.2% of patients with central and peripheral cancer, respectively. Additional immunological investigations increased the proportion of accurate diagnoses up to 96.8%. It is concluded that immunological investigations are effective in complex diagnosis of lung cancer.
