[Blood chemical parameters in the monitoring of inoperable bronchogenic carcinoma]. / Parametri ematochimici nel monitoraggio del carcinoma broncogeno non operabile.

Serum variations of 3 standard lung cancer markers (ferritin, carcinoembryonic antigen, gastrointestinal cancer antigen) were assessed in 27 patients with inoperable lung cancer diagnosed histologically and confirmed by cytology and/or histology. The study reveals that ferritin is the most sensitive marker.
