Clinical significance of serum alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme levels in advanced prostatic carcinoma. 1978

The alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes in 105 patients with stage D carcinoma of the prostate who entered the National Prostatic Cancer Study were analyzed and these values were correlated to clinical response. Only patients with at least 3 measurements of alkaline phosphatase were evaluated. In 91% of patients with metastatic bone disease, bone alkaline phosphatase was elevated. Those patients with higher pre-treatment levels of alkaline phosphatase generally showed a poorer response to therapy. The results of alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme estimation indicate that these biological markers may be used in the evaluation of patients with metastatic prostatic cancer to predict and monitor their response to chemotherapy. The evaluation of bone and liver alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes in earlier stages also may be valuable.
