Circulating IgE levels in patients with bronchial carcinoma.
Serum IgE measurements in 107 patients with bronchial carcinoma revealed statistically significant elevations when compared to a control population. Serum IgE elevation was seen in 21.5% of the sample (23 of 107) and in all histological types at all clinical stages of the disease. It appears to occur early in the disease or possibly before the development of the carcinoma.
