Tumor doubling time and prognostic assessment of patients with primary lung cancer.
BACKGROUND Relationships between tumor doubling time (DT) and other prognostic factors and the risk of death related to these factors are not yet fully understood. METHODS Tumor doubling time of primary lung carcinomas of 174 patients, detected in a limited number of local municipalities during a limited period, was calculated using the Schwartz formula. Survival rate of the 174 patients was ...
