title: [Activity of cathepsin B and D in blood serum of women with uterine cervix neoplasms].
abstract: The activity of cathepsins B and D were determined in the serum in 98 patients with carcinoma of the cervix uteri and in 25 women with dysplasia of the cervix uteri. The clinical value of the examined enzymes was performed. The results show that the mean serum activity of cathepsins increase with progression of neoplastic disease. The elevation of at least one of two studied lysosomal hydrolases were estimated in 68 patients (69.5%) with carcinoma of the cervix uteri.
