Experimental pancreatic carcinoma induced in Golden Syrian Hamsters by subcutaneous injections of N-nitrosobis-(2-oxopropyl) amine (BOP) was studied during the different phases of its development by determination of serum CA 19-9 levels and tissue labeling with CA 19-9 TM. Significant differences were observed in the CA 19-9 values between the controls and animals with carcinoma (p < 0.01) and between the latter and animals with cystic or cystic papillary lesions (p < 0.01). Distribution of the deposits of CA 19-9 TM was different in the initial tumoral lesions and in the longer-developed tumors. An important correlation was observed between tissue deposits and serum levels of this tumor marker.

Plasma levels and urinary excretion of oxypurines – hypoxanthine and xanthine – were evaluated by reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography in 13 patients affected by gastric tumors and in 19 colorectal tumor-bearing patients. Preliminary results indicate higher values of urinary xanthine and an increase in the xanthine/hypoxanthine ratio in cancer patients. The increase was not generalized to all subjects, and did not appear related either to the stage of the disease or to CEA values. The limits within which the determination of urinary oxypurines can be employed as a tumor marker are discussed.

MCA is a mucin-like carcinoma-associated antigen which has been found in all breast cancer independent of histological type and degree of differentiation. A two-step solid-phase EIA was developed and the serum concentration of MCA was measured in 176 breast cancer patiens after surgery. Using a cutoff of 11.0 U/ml the test showed a sensitivity of 77% and a specifity of 82% when compared to clinical status. The predictive value of this tumor marker was 72% for a positive diagnosis and 93% for a negative diagnosis. Based on these observations it is recommended that determination of MCA values take place 2 to 3 times in the first postoperative week in all women with surgically treated mammary carcinoma. These MCA values should then serve as reference for further determinations, which should be performed at each check-up. A subsequent increase in the MCA value should be considered as a first sign of metastasis.

Data from interlaboratory surveys for the determination of CA 125 (1987 to 1998) show large differences depending on the commercial kit used. Samples of the same material produced different analytical results in different interlaboratory surveys, thus showing that some kits did not have a satisfactory rate of reproducibility over a longer period of time.

A potentiometric immunoassay based on a copper(ii) ion-selective electrode (Cu-ISE) was designed for the quantitative determination of carbohydrate antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3; a tumor marker associated with breast cancer).
