Elevated urinary levels of modified nucleosides, especially pseudouridine (psi), have been observed in patients with a variety of malignant neoplasms. In this report, the urinary psi levels were estimated by high performance liquid chromatography in 93 patients with brain tumours and in 40 age and sex matched controls. The psi levels were found to be excreted in equal amounts in the control and the tumour groups. There was no significant difference in psi when patients with malignant diseases were compared with those with benign tumours. Following therapy, the psi levels remained unchanged when compared to the controls and their preoperative values. It is concluded that urinary psi concentration is not a useful marker for brain tumours.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
