Plasma D-dimer identifies lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients.
2004 JUL 1 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Plasma D-dimer identifies lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients.
"Fibrin formation and removal is continuous during the development of malignancy. Plasma D-dimer is indicative of ongoing fibrinolysis, and circulating soluble fibrin polymer [thrombus precursor protein (TpP)] represents thrombogenic activity. We evaluated the relationship between plasma D-dimer and TpP levels with tumor extent and examined the use of these markers as possible predictors of lymph node metastasis in breast cancer," researchers in South Korea report.
"Preoperative plasma levels of D-dimer and TpP were measured in these 120 patients (93 breast cancer, 27 benign breast disease) and 29 healthy controls. Plasma levels of D-dimer in patients with breast cancer were significantly higher than in healthy controls and in those with benign breast disease. Plasma D-dimer levels in patients with breast cancer were found to be significantly increased according to tumor stage," said H.K. Kim and colleagues, National Cancer Center, Breast and Endocrine Cancer Biology.
"We also observed that plasma levels of D-dimer were higher in patients with lymph node metastasis than in patients without metastasis. In contrast, TpP levels were not significantly different by the tumor stages and lymph node ...
