title: The importance of polyamine determination in monitoring malignant gynaecological tumours.
abstract: By thin-layer chromatography, the serum polyamine levels together with those of CA 125, CEA, lipid-bound sialic acid and urinary neopterine were determined in 56 ovarian cancer patients. A correlation was found in the group of clinically active tumour carriers between the clinical finding and the results of polyamine determination only where other tumour markers were suggestive of complete remission.
