title: [Radioimmunologic evaluation of the prognosis and effective therapy of patients with small cell lung cancer].
abstract: Radioimmunoassay was used to determine CEA, ACTH, calcitonin (CT), parathyroid hormone (PTH) and cortisol levels in the blood plasma and serum of small-cell lung carcinoma patients before and after chemotherapy. The prognostic value of the determination of CEA, ACTH and CT levels was shown. In 74% of patients, progression of the disease was accompanied by a rise of the CEA level, successful treatment by a decrease in the CEA level. A similar correlation between tumor activity and ACTH, CT and PTH levels was shown in 50.44 and 47% of the patients respectively.
