title: [The phytohemagglutinins and soybean agglutinin in diagnosis of endometrial adenocarcinoma].
abstract: The distribution of PHA and SBA receptors was studied by ABC immunoperoxidase method in 30 cases of endometrial adenocarcinoma (EA), 10 cases of normal endometrium (NE) and 20 cases of cystic glandular hyperplastic endometrium (CGH). The results showed that the positive rate of PHA and SBA in EA was 46.67% and 73.33% respectively, but negative and low in NE and CGH (P < 0.05). PHA and SBA showed a progressive rising tendency along with the changes of NE to CGH and EA (P < 0.01). It is suggested that both PHA and SBA may be used as differentiated markers in EA and may be helpful in clinical diagnosis.
