Abstract
Increased concentrations of serum ferritin are common in patients with malignant disease and appear to be a non-specific response. The present evidence does not suggest that serum ferritin assay is useful either for specific diagnosis or monitoring of malignant disease. A special role for acidic isoferritins in malignancy remains to be substantiated.Entities:
