title: [Usefulness of measuring serum ferritin in the diagnosis and staging of non-microcytoma bronchial carcinoma].
abstract: The value of serum ferritin assays in the diagnosis and staging of non-microcytoma bronchial cancer is assessed. It is pointed out that the marker is only minimally specific and sensitive in the diagnostic phase as well as being only slightly indicative in the staging of NSCLC.
