Humoral leukocyte adherence inhibition (H-LAI) test in screening of high risk group for lung cancer.
In the screening examinations of 150 ore miners the positive humoral immune response against lung tumor antigen was measured in 30 serum samples. Repeated testing of positive sera (after 1-3 years) was possible only in 15 cases. Among them, the reaction of 12 serum samples was again positive, and 2 persons died of lung cancer. The results obtained in these follow-up investigations are discussed.
