Abstract
In order to evaluate whether different solid tumors may specifically influence plasma free amino acid (PFAA) profile, PFAA were analysed in seventy-four patients with lung (41 patients) and breast cancer (33 patients) and 28 healthy subjects. In lung cancer patients a significant reduction of gluconeogenic amino acids, threonine, serine, glycine and a significant increase of free tryptophan and glutamic acid was found. In breast cancer patients a significant increase of ornithine, glutamic acid and free tryptophan was found. The comparison of PFAA profiles between lung and breast cancer suggests that different tumors have a different influence on the host's PFAA pattern.Entities:
