The aliphatic polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, spermine) are associated with the phenomena of normal and neoplastic cellular growth. Two third of cancers generally show elevated urinary excretion of polyamines. The urinary levels of polyamines are significantly higher in cancer in evolution than in cancer in remission. The variable association of polyamines with different localisations is reviewed. The potential interest of polyamines analysis in the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer is discussed. The more exciting application of this test remains in the possibility of a short term appreciation of the oncostatic treatment efficiency.

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.
