title: [Levels of growth hormone, prolactin, cortisone, aldosterone and insulin in the blood of patients with stomach cancer, before and after gastrectomy].
abstract: The basal blood levels of certain hormones were determined by radioimmunologic assay in 130 patients with stomach cancer before surgery and at different periods (10-30 days, up to 1 year, 1-5 years and over 5 years) after gastrectomy. Increased levels of growth hormone and prolactin were matched by a lowered concentration of insulin. Elevated levels of cortisol and aldosterone were observed in stage IV. Within the first 10-30 days after operation, hormonal profile (except insulin) showed a tendency to normalization. At later stages, hormone levels showed various changes.
