title: [Prognostic value of the androgenic function state of patients with lung cancer].
abstract: The authors have studied interconnection between daily excretion of androgenous metabolites and life-span of patients with lung cancer of different histological gradation. Positive correlation was found between life-span of patients with lung cancer and index of androsterone daily excretion. The patients with lung cancer of high differentiation had their androgenous fractions daily excretion compared with those of healthy persons, and patients with the lung cancer of middle and low degree of differentiation had their androgenous fractions daily excretion considerably lower than those of healthy persons.
