Peripheral plasma prostaglandin E (PGE) determinations were performed on a series of 79 patients with solid tumor neoplasms and correlated with their serum calcium levels. Fourteen patients were hypercalcemic and 11 of these had significant elevations in circulating plasma PGE. Ten of the hypercalce

โฆ Synopsis
Levels of g1ycoprotein:sialyltransferase activity (EC 2.4.99.1 ; CMP-acetylneuraminate:D-galactosyl-glycoprotein N-acetylneuraminyl-transferase) were measured in plasma of patients with neoplastic disease, and were found elevated above normal control values in 85% of patients examined. There was a correlation between enzyme levels and course of disease in 46 of 57 patients studied serially during therapy. Plasma sialyltransferase may be a useful marker enzyme for monitoring effectiveness of therapeutic programs for disseminated neoplasms.
