Distribution of prostaglandins B, E and F series in plasma of cancer patients.
Plasma prostaglandins (PGs) of normal individuals and cancer patients have been examined. With the exception of a breast carcinoma patient, all patients demonstrated significant elevations in PGE levels. Lung cancer patients showed a significant decrease in PGF, while stomach cancer patients showed a marked decrease in PGB. It is suggested that the changes in PGs may play a significant role in host-tumor metabolism.
