## Abstract The determination of leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) is used as an aid to diagnose many diseases in the laboratory. For example, it can be used to distinguish chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) from other myeloproliferative disorders (particularly myelofibrosis and polycythemia) and le

## Abstract ## Purpose. Ultrasoundβguided core needle biopsy for the diagnosis and management of malignant lymphomas is controversial and has not been accepted as an alternative to surgical biopsy. We investigate the clinical usefulness of this procedure in a large series of patients. ## Methods.
Leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) scores in peripheral blood and plasma carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were determined in 208 breast cancer patients with nonmetastatic disease. Patients were followed until clinical manifestations of metastases appeared. Then the LAP score and CEA level wer
Activity and isoelectric focusing (IEF) pattern of lysosomal acid phosphatase (E.C.3.1.3.2.) were investigated in 55 cases of low-grade malignant B-cell lymphoma, classified as chronic B-lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), centroblastidcentrocytic follicular lymphoma (CB/CC), lymphoplasmacytic/lymphoplasm
