The clinical and laboratory studies of superoxide dismutase activity in the human whole blood with early gastric cancer.
In this study, we tried to evaluate the usefulness of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) activity in detecting gastric cancer. SOD was determined according to M. Minami and H. Yoshikawa, a simple and inexpensive assay method. For 11 fibrogastroscopy and pathological proved gastric cancer cases, the average levels of SOD activity was found significantly lower than 30 patients with gastric diseases, 8 patients with atypical hyperplasia and 32 controls.
