Abstract

SummaryThe antichymotrypsin content of serum, as found by this test, is not changed in early malignant disease. The presence of hidden metastatic cancer, however, can be detected. Thus the test may assist in the diagnosis of advanced malignancies or in detecting such lesions when they appear in an obscure state. False positive values with this procedure fall in the same group as with the methods which measure proteolysis.
