[Use of free serum amino acids in therapy monitoring of patients with treated vulvar cancer].

We investigated the value of 10 free serum amino acids in continuous therapy monitoring in 9 patients with primary cancer of vulva stag pT1-2pN0M0. In comparison with the normal we found elevated significantly asparginic acid, glutaminic acid, glycine, alanine, valine, isoleucine, leucie, phenylalanine and tyrosine. Serum level of methionine not elevated was. After primary therapy all values returned to normal within of 6 months. A posttherapeutic monitoring with helf free serum amino acids is possible.
