title: [Significance of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein for the diagnosis of stomach cancer (author's transl)].
abstract: In 41 patients with benignant and malignant diseases of the stomach the appearance of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (alpha1sGP) in the gastric juice was recorded quantitatively by radial immunodiffusion and compared with normal serum alpha1sGP by immunelectrophoretic analyzation and by immunodiffusion after after Ouchterlony. In 80.0% of the patients with carcinoma, in 11.8% of patients with gastric or duodenal ulcer and in 28.6% of the patients with gastritis the presence of alpha1sGP could be evidenced in the gastric juice. The appearance of this glycoprotein significantly differed in benignant and malignant diseases of the stomach. A polymorphism of the stomach alpha1sGP compared with normal serum alpha1sGP could not be established by the applied methods. Therefore it is unprobable that the gastric alpha1sGP is originated by the malignoma.
