title: [Relation of the prolongation of life of radically operated lung cancer patients to the state of steroid balance].
abstract: An analysis of the rates of steroid hormone excretion and survival time in patients who had undergone radical surgery for lung cancer showed that the said rates may be used as a prognostic variable. Excretion rates of total 17-hydroxycorticosteroids and hydrocortisone proved to be of the highest prognostic value in patients aged 41-50, while in an older age bracket the best results were obtained with androsterone and estrone level measurements.
