From 62 patients with bronchogenic carcinoma, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA), placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) in serum and pseudouridine, a modified nucleoside, were analysed in urine. About 60 per cent of the patients had squamous cell carcinoma, and 20 per cent had small cell carcinoma. The patients were allocated into 3 different clinical stages based upon tumor burden, and the markers were analysed before treatment and thereafter. TPA and PLAP had limited value as biologic markers. For both CEA and pseudouridine the frequency of elevated values increased parallel to clinical stage. Elevated levels of these 2 markers were also correlated to shorter survival.

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
D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES). Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes
D011560 Pseudouridine A naturally-occurring isomer of URIDINE found in RNA, in which ribosyl is attached to a carbon instead of a nitrogen atom.
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. Antigens, CD66e,CD66e Antigen,Antigen, CD66e,Antigen, Carcinoembryonic,CD66e Antigens
D002283 Carcinoma, Bronchogenic Malignant neoplasm arising from the epithelium of the BRONCHI. It represents a large group of epithelial lung malignancies which can be divided into two clinical groups: SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER and NON-SMALL-CELL LUNG CARCINOMA.
