[Serum lipids in epithelial ovarian tumor patients]. 1982

A M Novikov, and N V Merabishvili, and L S Bassalyk

The report deals with the studies of lipid profile of blood serum and alpha-lipoproteins in 59 cases of epithelial ovarian tumors as well as the effects of surgery and chemotherapy on the serum levels of major lipids. Triglyceride and phospholipid levels In the serum of cancer patients appeared to be much higher than in healthy controls. Serum lipid distribution patterns were normal in patients with benign tumors of ovaries. Serum levels of total cholesterol and alpha-lipoprotein phospholipids in cancer patients were much lower than in healthy controls thus pointing to a considerably decreased level of this fraction of lipoproteins. Surgery was shown to be followed by a noticeable rise in triglyceride levels and a decrease in serum phospholipid concentration in cancer patients. Post-operative polychemotherapy was followed by reversed changes in triglyceride and phospholipid concentrations. It was found that polychemotherapy is not an important factor affecting the serum level of alpha-lipoproteins in untreated patients.

D007044	Hysterectomy	Excision of the uterus.	Hysterectomies
D008055	Lipids	A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids.

D010051	Ovarian Neoplasms	Tumors or cancer of the OVARY. These neoplasms can be benign or malignant. They are classified according to the tissue of origin, such as the surface EPITHELIUM, the stromal endocrine cells, and the totipotent GERM CELLS.

D010743	Phospholipids	Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system.

D002277	Carcinoma	A malignant neoplasm made up of epithelial cells tending to infiltrate the surrounding tissues and give rise to metastases. It is a histological type of neoplasm and not a synonym for "cancer."
