Abstrakt: The labeling index (incubation with thymidine-H3) and the volume doubling time (repeated roentgenography) were compared for three human lung tumors: two squamous-cell carcinomas with different levels of differentiation, and one hamartoma. The minimal doubling time (178 days) was found for the squamous-cell carcinoma with a lower level of differentiation and with the highest labeling index (19.0%). The hamartoma (a benign lung tumor) had the longest doubling time (1250 days) and the smallest labeling index (3.8%).
