Gamma-glutamyltransferase as novel biomarker in patients with uterine leiomyosarcoma
Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is an established marker for proliferative/apoptotic balance and has been associated with cancer risk and prognosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of pre-treatment GGT serum levels as prognostic biomarker in patients with primary uterine leiomyosarcoma (ULMS). Data of women with ULMS were extracted from a multi-center database. Pre-treatment GGT...
متن کاملPotential Biomarker for Human Uterine Leiomyosarcoma
Sarcomas are a rare form of malignant tumor, with less than 15,000 new cases being diagnosed each year in the United States. In spite of their rarity, sarcomas are highly debilitating malignancies that are often associated with significant morbidity and mortality. They are also biologically very heterogeneous because they originate from many different tissues and cell types. Sarcomas have class...
متن کاملEvaluating Gamma-H2AX Expression as a Biomarker of DNA Damage after X-ray in Angiography Patients
Objective: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common diseases. Coronary angiography (CAG) is an important apparatus used to diagnose and treat this disease. Since angiography is performed through exposure to ionizing radiation, it can cause harmful effects induced by double-stranded breaks in DNA which is potentially life-threatening damage. The aim of the present study is to inves...
متن کاملIncreased serum gamma-glutamyltransferase activity in patients with metabolic syndrome.
OBJECTIVES Accumulating data indicate that serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) activity represents a true marker of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and has prognostic importance. In this study, we sought to evaluate serum GGT activity in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS). STUDY DESIGN We enrolled 232 patients (mean age 60.4 years) from our outpatient cardiology clinic, 117 with...
متن کاملGamma-glutamyltransferase as a cardiovascular risk factor.
The association of a novel factor with clinical vascular disease must meet the same high standard met by ‘traditional’ risk factors. Serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) activity is a low-cost, highly sensitive laboratory test: though it is currently considered as an index of hepatobiliary dysfunction and alcohol abuse, pathology studies from our group since 1998 have indicated its possible ro...
