To clarify whether serum aldolase A is a useful biomarker for renal cell carcinoma (RCC), we determined serum levels of the aldolase A isozyme by an enzyme immunoassay in patients suffering from RCC, other urological tumors, and benign urological diseases. Forty-six of 126 patients with RCC (37%) ha

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Elevated serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels are sometimes attributable to the production of CEA by malignant cells, and in turn, the antigen itself can enhance the metastatic potential of malignant cells. The authors speculated that low serum CEA levels might be
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The authors measured circulating vascular endothelial growth factorβC (VEGFβC) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in patients with primary nonsmall cell lung carcinoma and assessed its usefulness as a diagnostic tool for determining lymph node metastasis
