Overview
The laboratory findings associated with lung cancer are the following neutropenia, hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypercalcemia, respiratory acidosis, hypercarbia, hypoxia, and tumor cells in sputum and pleural effusion cytology.
Laboratory Findings
- Neutropenia in patients with a recent history of chemotherapy
- Serum Electrolytes
- Sputum Cytology
- Sputum cytology demonstrates tumor cells
- Needle Thoracentesis
- Pleural effusion cytology demonstrates tumor cells
