The content of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFr) and its relation to tissue CEA and NSE were examined in 22 intracranial neoplasms (18 primary intracranial tumors and 4 metastasis from lung cancer). The EGFr was measured by a radioligand assay on crude plasma membrane preparations. The tissue tumor markers (CEA and NSE) were measured on the high speed supernatant of tissue homogenates. In the primary intracranial tumors the EGFr was positive in 68%, CEA in 43% and NSE in 47% of all cases examined. As it concerns the metastasis from lung cancer the positivity was 75% for EGFr while for CEA and NSE was 50% and 32% respectively. These results suggest that the routine measurement of EGFr, associated with the determinations of tissue CEA and NSE could provide useful information on the type of the intracranial neoplasms.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
