Evaluation of Serum Adenosine Deaminase as a Tumor Marker in Gastric Cancer

摘要: Currently re c o mmended tumor markers in gas tric cancer are being used to monitor treatment or detect recurrences and serum a rc oembryonic antigen (CEA) is widely accepted marker the management of cancer. Hence there n e d for identifying which will be useful detecting Alt ra t io ns enzyme levels well known, adenos ine deaminase (ADA), an purine salvage pathway, has been found elev v rio u s malignancies . The present tudy was carried out on 30 healthy controls 22 patients ADA seru m es timated by colorimetric method Galanti Gius ti. diagnos tic accuracy assessed receiver operating ch ris tics (ROC) curves relevance independent two combination wa nalyzed logis regress ion model.
