[Betaglucuronidase activity in ovarian carcinoma (author's transl)]

Beta-glucuronidase activity was recorded from the tissue of 45 ovarian carcinomas and compared to the activity in normal human ovarian tissue. Mean activities were 1442 micrograms Ph./h/g tissue in ovarian carcinomas and 574 micrograms Ph./h/g in intact ovarian tissue. No relationship was found to exist between the amount of beta-glucuronidase activity and the stage of the disease.
