  • Title: Biological markers of human tumors and monitoring of cancer treatment.
    Author: Tanneberger S, Nissen E, Ziegenbein R.
    Journal: Arch Geschwulstforsch; 1979; 49(6):528-34. PubMed ID: 94534.
    Abstract:
    The development of human tumors is accompanied very often by tumor-associated phenomena such as production of tumor-derived substances, production of certian substances in response to the tumor or immunological reactions. Up to now no of these phenomena can be used as a diagnostic cancer test but biological markers are increasingly used for monitoring progression and regression of human tumors. Basing on a number of own studies the value of the determination of CEA-serum level and urinary excretion of hydroxyprolin, spermidin and putrescin for monitoring the tumor behaviour particularly during cancer chemotherapy is demonstrated.
