## Abstract Serum fragments of cytokeratinsβ18 and β19 (measured as TPS and CYFRA 21β1, respectively) have traditionally been considered as markers of tumor proliferation, although the evidence is scarce for a causative relationship between proliferation and levels of TPS and CYFRA 21β1. We examine
