The study of tumor markers in breast cancer tissue may supply information on the tumor's biological features and its clinical behaviour. Forty-nine primary breast cancer patients are evaluable to date. CEA, ferritin, TPA and CA15/3 were measured with radioimmunometric methods in the cytosol of carcinoma and normal tissue from the same breast. The concentrations of the four markers were higher in the tumor than in normal tissue in 42/49 cases for CEA, 47/49 for ferritin, 42/49 for TPA and in 24/29 for CA15/3. However, an overlap was found between carcinoma and normal tissue levels, particularly for CEA and TPA. We can conclude that the four substances studied may be markers of malignancy in breast carcinoma when non-malignant breast tissue from the same patient is determined at the same time, whereas assays within a single, unknown breast tissue sample may be useful only in the case of ferritin and, partly, CA15/3.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides

D002272 Carcinoembryonic Antigen A glycoprotein that is secreted into the luminal surface of the epithelia in the gastrointestinal tract. It is found in the feces and pancreaticobiliary secretions and is used to monitor the response to colon cancer treatment.

D005293 Ferritins Iron-containing proteins that are widely distributed in animals, plants, and microorganisms. Their major function is to store IRON in a nontoxic bioavailable form. Each ferritin molecule consists of ferric iron in a hollow protein shell (APOFERRITINS) made of 24 subunits of various sequences depending on the species and tissue types.
