Accuracy and efficacy of chest radiography in the intensive care unit

264 patients with cancer of larynx, 21 female and 234 male, had a testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) before the treatment in serum estimated. Because of dependence of levels of hormones the group of patients was divided into three following groups: "lower than standard", "standard", "higher than standard". The correlation between these groups and sex, age, localization of tumor, organs' advances, stage of morphological malignancy and type of cancer was reported. Anomalous values of testosterone were in male group more frequently reported. Anomalous values of SHBG were similar in male and female groups, but in the female group there was a significant majority of "lower than standard" values reported. The majority of abnormal values of testosterone and SHBG was described in groups of age higher than 50 years. There were no differences in testosterone and SHBG levels in different localization of tumors in larynx. In advanced stage T3 and T4 there were more frequent lower mean values of testosterone levels and higher values of SHBG levels in comparison to T2 stages. In tumors in G1 and G2 stages of histological malignancy higher levels of SHBG and higher mean levels of testosterone. The tumors in stage G3 the hormone levels were lowers were observed. The levels of SHBG in groups of carcinoma planoepitheliale keratodes were in 66% higher than in a group of carcinoma planoepitheliale akeratodes but in both groups the levels of testosterone were nearing the same. In group of patients with larynx cancer the negative correlation between the levels of testosterone and SHBG was not observed. Higher SHBG levels were not always accompanied by lower testosterone levels.
