Abstract

To study the clinical value of combined detection of 4 tumor markers, namely lactic dehydrogenate (LDH), tissue polypeptide specific antigen (TPS), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and beta2-microglobulin (beta2-MG) in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). The serum level of LDH was determined with automatic biochemical analyzer and TPS, CEA and beta2-MG levels were determined by enzyme-linked immumosorbent assay (ELISA) in 59 patients with NHL and 40 healthy adults. The levels of the 4 tumor markers were significantly higher in NHL patients than in the healthy control subjects (P<0.05). After chemotherapy, the serum levels of TPS and beta2-MG were significantly lowered in the patients who showed favorable response to the treatment (P<0.05), but the levels of LDH and CEA showed no significant change (P>0.05). The serum levels of LDH, TPS, CEA and beta2-MG in the patients in a stable or progressive phase did had no significant changes after chemotherapy (P>0.05). Combined detection of LDH, TPS, CEA and beta2-MG can be helpful to assist diagnosis of NHL and treatment evaluation.

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
