    Abstract:
    In 180 patients with histologically confirmed bronchial carcinoma exactitude of aldolase as a means for carrying out a screening test for metastases and relapses was checked. Enzyme activity was mostly normal in patients with limited extended local tumor growth including regional metastases as well as in tumour relapses. The group of patients with distant metastases, showed a distribution of increases and normal enzyme values which was equal; when differentiating further the majority of pathological aldolase values (79.4 per cent) was found in the group with liver metastases. We therefore regard as valuable the determination of serum aldolase when locking for liver metastases in confirmed bronchial carcinoma.
