Abstract: OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to determine biomarkers, which may be used in order to understand the pathophysiology, the diagnosis, progression surveillance/monitoring, and treatment efficacy of high graded glial tumors.
BACKGROUND: Radiological imaging in the diagnosis and relapse surveillance of glial tumors is sometimes insufficient. There is need for additional methods of diagnosis and surveillance in order to rule out contradictory circumstances.
METHOD: Using enzyme like immune sorbent assay method, E-Cadherin, Tenascin C, Tetraspanin 8, Survivin and VEGF121 levels were investigated in serum and tumor tissues of 28 patients diagnosed with pathological glioblastoma, and in the serum of 26 healthy individuals. Correlation between tumor tissue values and Ki67 percentage, and P53 mutation, and difference between unhealthy and healthy serum levels were sought.
RESULTS: It was found out that E-Cadherin and VEGF 121 levels in the unhealthy serum were high in comparison to the control group (p 0.05).
CONCLUSION: EC and VEGF121 are biomarkers, which have the potential to be used in the diagnosis, recurrence and treatment follow-up in high graded glial tumors (Tab. 2, Fig. 1, Ref. 37). Text in PDF www.elis.sk
