title: [Neoplastic inflammation: role of capillary electrophoresis].
abstract: Two electrophoretical methods have been compared, in order to evaluate the most precise and sensitive one as to recognize initial inflammatory conditions also of tumoral nature. Consequently, among 5,000 patients observed during one year, only 500 cases have been considered with pathologic electrophoretic diagram and, among those, 245 cases of which alteration of the electrophoretic diagram concerned the alfa 1 band and the alfa 2 band; among the latter only 127 cases were diagnosed various tumors. It is deduced from the obtained results that there is better sensitiveness with the capillary method, which is evidenced in the more substantial increase of the alfa 1. Such method allows, precociously, to put in evidence a possible presence of inflammation, induced by any kind of tumor, even in absence of positiveness of the specific tumoral markers, in 38% of examined cases.
