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.
