title: [The value of urine phosphohexose isomerase activity in comparison with urine cytology. First diagnosis and tumor after-care in patients with cancer of the urinary bladder].
abstract: The importance of phosphohexose (PHI) activity in the urine of patients with carcinoma of the urinary bladder is examined on the basis of enzyme-histochemical studies in tumor cell homogenizates after transurethral resection for transitional cell carcinoma. The results gave rise to the question of whether the enzyme-histochemical activity patterns were reflected in the urine in the form of photometrically measurable activity, and thus whether the PHI activity can be used in screening as a marker to complement the standard urine cytological procedure. The sensitivity of PHI measurement was determined at 89%. The measurement of PHI in the urine of patients with an ileum neobladder or of patients with urinary tract infections does not provide any useful information.
