title: [Serum levels of tissue polypeptide antigen in patients with the head and neck cancer according to presence of metastases in lymph nodes].
abstract: Aim of the work was estimation of Tissue Polypeptide Antigen (TPA) concentrations in serum and qualification its diagnostic value in patients with malignant neoplasm of head and neck in dependence from presence of metastasis to regional lymph nodes. The study comprised the group of 146 persons (108 with head and neck malignant neoplasm, 38 of persons determined group supervisory). At 35 ill one ascertained metastasis to lymph nodes. In presented work at ill without metastasis to lymphatic glands sensitivity of test TPA carried out 28.8%, and at ill with metastasis 42.9%, attaining 66.7% at ill from N3. One showed, that concentrations TPA grow together from spreading of neoplasm in lymph nodes, and presence of metastasis correlates with concentrations of TPA.
