title: [The importance of the radioimmunological determination of tumor markers in the diagnosis of malignant lymphomas].
abstract: The investigation was conducted to study the role of the determination of tumor markers (CEA, beta 2-microglobulin, IgE and ferritin) in patients with malignant lymphomas. Altogether 66 patients with Hodgkin's disease, 60 with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and 15 with clinico-hematological remission over one year were investigated, using commercial kits of reagents. An increase in the level of beta 2 was shown to depend on the spreading of a lymphoproliferative process. An elevated level of IgE was noted in Hodgkin's disease whereas a significant rise was unnoticed in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. An increase in the level of serum ferritin was noted in an advanced and aggressive lymphoproliferative process. The CEA test in malignant lymphomas is not informative.
