Enzymes used in predicting high risk to colon cancer

M K Schwartz. Clin Biochem. 1990 Oct.

Abstract

Attempts have been made to use enzyme assays primarily in tissue, to predict risk of colon cancer in high risk colon cancer families, and in patients with polyposis. Efforts have also been made to predict recurrence in surgically "cured" cancer patients. The use of thymidine kinase, ornithine decarboxylase, LDH isoenzymes, and other enzymes for these purposes will be reviewed.
