title: [Use of non-traditional methods of examination in the differential diagnosis of cancer and tuberculosis of the lungs].
abstract: The immunoradiometric assay of the blood serum was performed in 61 patient with cancer and in 57 patients with tuberculosis of the lungs to determine the content of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), hydrocortisone, triiodothyronine++ (T3), thyroxin (T4), ferritin and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). In 200 patients (104 suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis, 9--pulmonary cancer), entropy of the protein fractions of the blood serum was determined. It was established that in differential diagnosis of pulmonary cancer and tuberculosis, the determination of CEA, hydrocortisone and entropy of the protein fractions of the blood serum in the complex with the other methods were of significant importance, the determination of ACTH and ferritin content were less important.
