Abstract
The variations in serum level of the alpha 2-PAG (pregnancy associated glycoprotein) were studied during the treatment of 25 patients with breast cancer. A good correlation was found between alpha 2-PAG concentration and the course of the disease. Serum alpha 2-Pag levels rose prior to the clinical recognition of metastatic disease and decreased significantly on successful treatment. alpha 2-PAG appears to have potential as an indicator of the growth of micrometastases.Entities:
