Journal Article
Gamma-glutamyltransferase in putative premalignant liver cell populations during hepatocarcinogenesis.
TL;DR: It appears that gamma-glutamyltransferase is a useful marker for preneoplastic hepatocytes during the induction of liver cancer with 2-acetylaminofluorene or diethylnitrosamine and compared with findings in fetal and in intact and regenerating adult liver.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carcinoembryonic antigen in breast cancer
TL;DR: Elevated CEA levels postoperatively are associated with an increased risk of development of recurrent disease in breast cancer patients and are followed for an average interval of 255 days from date of diagnosis.
Journal Article
Antimetastatic effect of amiloride in an animal tumour model.
TL;DR: While the inhibitory effect on intact cell cultures of the tumour was slight, continuous exposure of tumour-injected animals to the drug completely prevented the formation of lung metastasis.
Journal Article
Placenta-like alkaline phosphatase in gynecological cancers.
Kellen Ja,R. S. Bush,A. Malkin +2 more
TL;DR: Only in cancers of the ovaries did a positive correlation between this enzyme marker and the extent of the disease be found, and in more than one-third of the patients examined, PLAP levels were an index of the tumor burden.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and other tumor markers in ovarian and cervical cancer
TL;DR: The data indicate that the use of marker combinations can improve the capacity to detect minimal disease and provide information regarding tumor biology that may not be available by studying individual markers or by other means.
