Does anti-inflammatory treatment affect tumour marker concentrations in patients with pericardial effusion?
Does anti-inflammatory treatment affect tumour marker concentrations in patients with pericardial effusion?
Anti-inflammatory treatment may be associated with increased tumour marker concentrations in patients with pericardial effusion.
May warrant caution interpreting tumour markers during anti-inflammatory therapy for pericardial effusion; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation.
Tumour markers are a heterogeneous group of substances that are present in very low concentrations in the serum of healthy individuals, but are secreted in large quantities by neoplastic cells. How...
