title: [Development and application of an "IR-spectrophotometer-minicomputer" system for determination of steroid hormones in patients with malignant neoplasms].
abstract: An automated IR-spectrophotometer-mini-computer system was designed for assay of steroid hormone level. Its application obviates a clinical analysis of urine. The ratio of 17-ketogenic steroids to androsterone was found to be significantly higher in patients with lung cancer than in healthy controls. The system may be used for identification of groups at high risk both during screenings and in oncological clinic.
