Abstract:
The diagnostic significance of three polyamines (putrescine, spermidine and spermine), of carcinoembryonic antigen and of phosphoglucose isomerase have been compared in sera of patients with breast cancer or benign breast disease and normal age matched controls. The results of the study indicate that the performance of spermine was more striking than that of any of the other markers. The estimation of spermine may prove to be a valuable parameter not only in detection but also in prediction of recurrence of the disease.
