Abstract:
Early detection is essential in the management of patients with cancer. PFK-nhibition test is a new method for detecting cancer in its early stage, and has been proved to e more sensitive than the prevailing screening test such as AFP or CEA. Sera from cancer atients specifically suppressed PFK. The PFK-inhibition rate(%) of 73 normal sera from ealthy ged (54-57 years old) with an average of 61.8 is 10.0±0.340
X±SEM); of 31 sera from benign iseases 54.2 years old in average is 26.6±0.598 (
X±SEM); of 52 sera from cancer patients averagely 62.0 years old) is 43.7±0.476 (
X±SEM). It is evident that the Value of serum rom ancer patient is significantly different from that in healthy subject or patient with benign iseases (P<0.01), These results suggest that PFK-inhibition test may serve as an useful arameter in the monitoring and early detection of cancer.
