Immunofluorometrical Exploring of Cortisol Hormone Levels in the Serum of Patients with Histologically Verified Microcellular Lung Cancer

Abstract

It is already known in the science that the cells of microcellular lung cancer can produce ACTH. By following the levels of Cortisol as one consequence of ACTH producing, in the serum of microcellular lung cancer patients, we could make some statistical conclusions how significant these levels would be in eventual future early diagnostic procedures, besides already existing tumormarkers etc. This work would connect the Oncology, Endocrinology and Immunology fields containing very interesting immunofluorometrical procedures, hormonal theories and statistical estimates.
