✦ Synopsis

Serial serum sialic acid (N-acetylneuraminic acid) was measured in 16 patients with advanced cancer of various histologic types. In the 15 evaluable patients serial changes in sialic acid correlated with the clinical course. Isolated sialic acid values were not predictive of clinical response. Serial determination of serum sialic acid appears to be a useful monitor of tumor burden.

A prospective study was done to evaluate the roles of serum N-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA) and the lipid-bound subfraction of sialic acid (LSA) concentrations in the detection and staging of cancer, and the follow-up of treatment in patients with genitourinary malignancies. Multiple determinations w
