[Dependence of serous activity of cathepsin B on histological types of ovarian carcinomas].
The preoperative activity of cathepsin B was determined in the serum of 110 patients with primary ovarian carcinomas and in 35 women with benign ovarian tumor. The significant increase of cathepsin B activity in ovarian carcinomas is independent of its types in comparison to benign ovarian tumor. The percentage of the results with value above the cut-off values was the highest for serous types of ovarian carcinomas. The dependence between the increase of cathepsin B activity and the FIGO stage of the disease was observed only for serous and endometrioid type of ovarian carcinomas.
