Cancer-associated proteins in effusion fluids.
Two cancer-associated proteins, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and pregnancy-associated alpha2 glycoprotein (PAG), together with 13 normal serum proteins were measured in the serum and effusion fluid of patients with ascites and pleural effusions. The results indicate that CEA measurement in effusion fluid is more effective than serum measurement in distinguishing cancerous from congestive or i...
متن کاملValidating Standards-based Test Score Interpretations
Standards-based score reports interpret test performance with reference to cut scores defining categories like "below basic" or "proficient" or "master." This paper first develops a conceptual framework for validity arguments supporting such interpretations, then presents three applications. Two of these are serve to introduce new standard-setting methods. The conceptual framework lays out the ...
متن کاملHistaminase and other tumor markers in malignant effusion fluids.
The association of histaminase with human cancer has been evaluated in this study by its presence at elevated levels in malignant effusion fluids. Over 400 fluid samples collected from 162 cancer patients of different primaries were analyzed in this study. Incidence of elevation of histarninase in the fluids were compared with that of three other tumor markers: carci noembryonic antigens (CEA);...
متن کاملOccurrence of antigammaglobulins in effusion fluids of diverse aetiology.
Human antigammaglobulins have been detected in high frequency in non-rheumatoid arthritis pleural (Levine, Szanto, Grieble, Bach, and Anderson, 1968) and synovial (Huskisson, Hart, and Lacey, 1971) effusions. The agglutinators, termed rheumatoid factors, were found in a much higher frequency than the 1 to 5 per cent. range of positive serological tests reported for the general population (Bartf...
متن کاملPredicting survival in malignant pleural effusion: development and validation of the LENT prognostic score
BACKGROUND Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) causes debilitating breathlessness and predicting survival is challenging. This study aimed to obtain contemporary data on survival by underlying tumour type in patients with MPE, identify prognostic indicators of overall survival and develop and validate a prognostic scoring system. METHODS Three large international cohorts of patients with MPE wer...
