  • Title: Increased polyamine concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with brain tumors.
    Author: Marton LJ, Heby O, Wilson CB.
    Journal: Int J Cancer; 1974 Dec 15; 14(6):731-5. PubMed ID: 4377003.
    Abstract:
    An automated method for the quantitative analysis of the polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was used to analyze CSF samples from 37 patients with central nervous system (CNS) tumors and from 13 patients without tumors. The putrescine and spermidine concentrations in the CSF of most patients in tumors, particularly those with glioblastomas or medulloblastomas, were elevated when compared with those of non-tumor-bearing patients.
