Using the new enzymatic assay for isolation and determination of polyamine in blood presented in Report 4, the polyamines in the blood were isolated and determined in 84 patients with genitourinary cancer. In the early diagnosis, the positive rates of each fraction were not so high, but, relatively high positive rates were demonstrated, when any one of the polyamines were found positive: namely, 85.7% in renal cell cancer, 66.7% in renal pelvic and ureteral cancer, 44.0% in bladder cancers. These results seem to support the usefulness of the new method, and encourage further investigation of polyamines in the blood as tumor markers.

D013095 Spermidine A polyamine formed from putrescine. It is found in almost all tissues in association with nucleic acids. It is found as a cation at all pH values, and is thought to help stabilize some membranes and nucleic acid structures. It is a precursor of spermine.
D013096 Spermine A biogenic polyamine formed from spermidine. It is found in a wide variety of organisms and tissues and is an essential growth factor in some bacteria. It is found as a polycation at all pH values. Spermine is associated with nucleic acids, particularly in viruses, and is thought to stabilize the helical structure.
