title: [Tumor markers used in diagnosis and monitoring of primary bronchopulmonary carcinoma].
abstract: Pulmonary neoplasm is a serious disease, often detected in its final stages. Tumor markers, although not a diagnosis method for pulmonary neoplasms, are useful in monitoring the response to treatment and the relapses, as follows: neuron specific enolase (NSE) increases in micro-cellular neoplasm, Cyfra 21-1 increases in non-micro-cellular neoplasm, while the increase of carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) is non-specific, as it is high in both primary and secondary lung cancer
