title: [Clinical significance of serum ferritin and acute phase reactant proteins levels in patients with cervical cancer].
abstract: Serum ferritin (SF) levels from 162 patients with cervical cancer and their serum alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (alpha 1-AGP). alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha 1-AT. Transferrin (Tf) in most patients were determined. The result showed that concentration of SF, alpha 1-AGP, alpha 1-AT were significantly higher, while TF significantly lower in cervical carcinoma patients during active period than from patients with benign tumors and normal persons. The levels of SF. alpha 1-AGP. alpha 1-AT and Tf were significantly increased during the remission period. The positive rate of SF, alpha 1-AGP and Tf in cervical cancer patients during active period was significantly higher than that of alpha 1-AT. Serial determinations of SF, alpha 1-AGP and. Tf may be helpful in the monitoring of disease development and early detection of recurrence and metastases.
