title: Importance of B2 microglobulin in primary bronchial cancer.
abstract: We have performed B2 microglobulin determination in 18 non-cancer and in 38 cancer cases. We found a higher value in the control group in 11% (2 cases) and a pathologic value in 43.5% (17 cases) in the group of patients with primary bronchial cancer.
