[13,14-Dihydro-15-keto prostaglandin F2 alpha and haptoglobin in the serum of patients with urogenital tumors].
Prostaglandin F2 alpha can be measured as a stable degradation product, 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin F2 alpha (DHK-PGF2 alpha). Pathological serum levels of this lipid compound have been observed in prostate hyperplasia and treated testicular cancer patients. In renal cancer patients elevated DHK-PGF2 alpha shows a trend to normalize 12 months following nephrectomy in stage T0N0M0. Bladder cancer patients have slightly increased DHK-PGF2 alpha that differ in relation to preinvasive bladder cancer. In contrast serum haptoglobin levels were significantly pathological in patients with kidney and bladder cancer, suggesting involved cancer metabolism. Patients with prostate and testis cancer are without distinct relation to the tumour stage. After specification of haptoglobin types no coincidence to urogenital tumours could be detected. Correlated aberration of PGF2 alpha and haptoglobin displayed different patterns depending on the type of urogenital tumour.
