Abstract:
LDH isozymes in both the serum and tumor tissues of 4 patients with mediastinal yolk sac tumors, and in the cystic content of tumors transplanted into nude mice was examined. Our findings suggested that LDH-1, along with AFP, is an important marker of this tumor, and that LDH isozyme study is necessary for its diagnosis.
