Description

The clinical-diagnostical value of alpha-fetoproteins (AFP) compared with the use of common less sensitive methods was tested. The results obtained clearly showed that in the clinical-internal-surgical sphere the main importance of radioimmunological AFP-determinations lies in the improved supervision of the development of hepatomas in patients suffering from hepatic cirrhosis. In the pre-operative differential diagnosis of testicle tumors, these determinations help to optimize the therapeutic measures and are also useful for the case control of hepatoma and teratoma patients.

Abstract (German)

Es wurde der klinisch-diagnostische Wert von Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) gegenueber der Verwendung verbreiteter unempfindlicherer Methoden geprueft. Die gewonnenen Ergebnisse weisen daraufhin, dass die Hauptbedeutung radioimmunologischer AFP-Bestimmungen auf klinisch-internistisch-chirurgischem Gebiet in der besseren Ueberwachung von Leberzirrhose-Patienten auf Hepatomentstehung, in der praeoperativen differential-diagnostischen Unterscheidung von Hodentumoren zur Optimierung therapeutischer Massnahmen und in der Verlaufskontrolle von Hepatom- wie Teratom-Patienten beruht.
