[Changes in arylsulphatase activity in blood serum in patients with breast cancer before and after treatment]

We evaluated arylsulphatase activity in 52 women with breast cancer. In women with breast cancer this enzyme activity is 2,5-fold higher than in healthy women. After operation and chemiotherapy arylsulphatase activity decreased to normal values. There is correlation between enzyme activity and tumor size and number of metastases. In group with bigger tumor and higher number of metastases arylsulphatase activity is markedly higher.
