title: [Prognostic value of lipopolysaccharide and lipopolysaccharide-binding protein serum levels in cancer patients with sepsis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Analysis of LPS and LPS-binding protein (LBP) serum levels and prognostic value evaluation in cancer patients with sepsis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Blood samples of 17 healthy donors and 46 cancer patients with sepsis were analyzed by using "Hycult biotechnology" kits (The Netherlands).
  
  
  RESULTS
  Serum LPS level in cancer patients with sepsis was increased significantly. A substantial decrease of LBP level was detected in blood samples of deceased patients.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Dynamic increase of LPS serum level and decrease of LPS-binding protein serum level in cancer patients should be considered as an unfavorable factor for sepsis.
