Abstract
Serum total sialic acid (TSA) level was determined in the group of 45 patients with endometrial neoplasia. Moreover, the sialic acid content in 23 surgically obtained tumor tissue specimens has been estimated. The mean value of serum total sialic acid level of the cancer patients (2.38 mmol/l) was significantly higher (P<0.0001) than the sialic acid level in the control group (1.52 mmol/l). The elevation of serum total sialic acid level was associated with the burden of the tumor (2.30 mmol/l and 2.68 mmol/l for stages I and II+III, respectively). Tissue sialic acid content showed no significant differences between early and advanced clinical stage of the disease.
