[Diagnosis of malignant neoplasms by studying the changes in the concentration of fetal hemoglobin, hemoglobin A2 and carbonic anhydrases B and C. An application of discriminating function].

Abstract

This publication proposes the utilization of an analytical discriminatory method in the diagnosis of malignant neoplasia. The multiple variable technique of analysis is suggested employing the quantification of the HbF, HbA2, AcB and AcC. This has already been demonstrated in a previous study which suffered from quantifiable variations important in neoplastic disease. The confidence of the procedure has been proven when applied to 198 known cases, having classified them adequately 94 per cent of the time.
