Peripheral and gastric fibrinolysis in patients with gastric carcinoma.
The fibrinolytic system was studied in blood-samples from gastric and peripheral veins of patients with gastric carcinoma. There was a slight decrease in plasma-euglobulin fibrinolytic activity, a rise of plasma-fibrinogen level and antithrombin VI activity, and a decrease in antiplasmin activity. The changes observed are more marked in blood-samples from gastric veins. Some therapeutical implications and the role of fibrinolytic agents in malignant diseases are briefly discussed.
