[Treatment monitoring of patients with uterine cancer with and without progression by free serum amino acids].

We determined 10 free serum amino acids by automatic chromatographic analyses in continuous steps in tumour monitoring of 51 patients with cancer of the uterine body. There were 39 patients without and 12 patients with recurrent disease. We found an elevation of aspartic acid, glutaminic acid, tyrosine and phenylalanine in continuous monitoring. Glycine, alanine, valine and leucine have an increased level in pretherapeutic value, too. A monitoring with amino acids in metaphylaxis is possible.
