Overview

Pancoast tumor is a subtype of lung cancer located at the lung apex. There are no characteristic diagnostic lab findings associated with Pancoast tumor. 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 tests

There are no characteristic diagnostic lab findings associated with Pancoast tumor. The laboratory findings associated with lung cancer are the following:[1][2][3][4]

  • Neutropenia in patients with a recent history of chemotherapy
  • Serum electrolytes
  • Hyponatremia from Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion (SIADH)
  • Hypokalemia from Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion (SIADH)
  • Sputum cytology
  • Sputum cytology demonstrates tumor cells
  • Needle thoracentesis
