title: [Characteristics of hormone homeostasis in men who have been smoking for a long time].
abstract: Radioimmunoassay of 12 hormones, carcinoembryonic antigen and ferritin in blood serum was carried out in 140 subjects at high risk for lung cancer. The study group included males aged more than 50 with a questionnaire-based record of smoking for more than 20 years. 140 patients with stage I-III lung tumors and 40 healthy subjects were in control. The profile and trends of hormonal shifts in those at risk and stage I-III lung cancer patients proved identical but were significantly different from the same parameters in healthy subjects. In the group at risk, endocrine disorders were more pronounced than the rise in tumor marker levels.
