BACKGROUND. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is common in hematooncologic diseases. The aim of the current study was to determine the diagnostic value of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzyme analysis for the diagnosis of CNS involvement in hematooncologic patients.
## Background: Detection in tumor tissue of specific matrix metalloproteinases (mmps), particularly gelatinases a and b, correlates with the grade and aggressiveness of primary and metastatic brain tumors. the ability to detect these enzymes in the cerebrospinal fluid (csf) would be a minimally inv
