[Lipid peroxidation and tumor dimensions in stomach cancer]

The parameters of lipid peroxidation were examined in blood serum of 40 patients with stomach cancer by induced chemiluminescence (CL)--Republican Research Center of Oncology, Healthcare Ministry of Uzbekistan. The CL parameters were demonstrated to increase alongside with the growing tumor mass. The induced CL of blood serum characterizes the status of lipid peroxidation and is a direct reflection of the body's reaction to tumor growth. The method of induced CL can be used on in clinical practice as an additional diagnostic test describing the tumor growth course in stomach cancer.
