| Popis: | Immunoelectrophoresis of serum proteins was performed on 16 patients with locally invasive (Stage III) and 20 patients with advanced (Stage IV) prostate cancer. Mean values of Immunoglobulin-G (IgG) was higher in Stage III than in Stage IV prostate cancer, although no remarkable changes were observed in the mean values of Immunoglobulin-A (IgA) and Immunoglobulin-M (IgM). — The percentage of the patients with decreased IgM was found to be higher in Stage IV (12 out of 20) than Stage III (3 out of 16) prostate cancer. Determination of serum immunoglobulins may be a useful, additional parameter in the evaluation of therapetuic responses in patients with prostate cancer. |
