A comprehensive examination, including clinical X-ray tomography, thermography, bronchological, cytological, immunological, and radioimmune studies, was made in 105 patients with lung pathology (tuberculosis and cancer of the lung in 56 and 49 patients, respectively) who had been detected during screenings. Among the routine methods, X-ray tomography is of the most informative value (81.9%). The informative value of telethermography for the verification of specific and malignant processes is 73.5%. A complex immunological study assisted to differentially diagnosis tuberculosis and cancer of the lung in 72% of cases. The informative value of measurements of cancer embryonic antigen in lung cancer is 89.6%, that of calcitonin and parathyroid hormone is 69.4 and 73.5%, respectively.
