Abstract |
We evaluated an immunosuppressive acidic protein (IAP) as a tumor marker in cases of a tumor of the bone (benign, 21; primary malignant, 26; metastatic carcinoma, 12). The IAP positive rate of a primary malignant tumor of the bone was 60%, and the mean was 591 + 59.4 micrograms/ml. This rate of a benign tumor of the bone was 10%, and the mean was 382 +/- 31.3 micrograms/ml. IAP may represent a tumor marker in malignant tumors of the bone.
