title: Circulating IgE levels in patients with gynecological tumors.
abstract: Serum IgE levels in 148 women with a histological confirmed genital cancer of different stage and site and from 23 patients with benign ovarian tumors were determined prior to therapy. For determination of IgE an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used. Result obtained did not give evidence that circulating IgE levels are different to healthy control subjects. Findings were not influenced by tumor-localization, by primary tumor or recurrence.
