Bit unrealistic,bit confusing but still an amazing test -LOGICAL . .
got this idea while reading ROBBINS textbook of pathology,where it has been mentioned that there is subclinical activation of blood coagulation in lung ca pt. . yup!!Than it was my area 48 which linked this statement of robbins to the test for clotting which i had read in my first mbbs. . .hence if everything that has been linked forms an working circuit,than it can be termed that, prolonged clotting time=severe lung cancer. . . .but than when i did some googly research{yaa i know its google!!} about this got many intresting facts, which i would like to share . . .

And yaa i agree that using this idea for Dx of lung cancer is quiet impossible,but can be used to check the prognosis of the pt on treatment. . .
