The activities of
alpha-amylase
and its salivary isoenzymes were evaluated in serum and urine of 59 patients with ovary cancer, 10 women with
endometrial carcinoma
, 30 patients with cervical carcinoma and 20 women with other (nonmalignant) diseases of females reproductive system. An increased activity of
alpha-amylase
in serum was found in 39% of patients with ovarium carcinoma and in 23% of patients with cervical carcinoma. The activity of salivary
alpha-amylase
in serum was elevated in 89% of patients with ovary carcinoma and in 63% of patients with cervical carcinoma and in 20% of patients with
endometrial carcinoma
. Serum and urine of women with nonneoplastic diseases of reproductive system demonstrates normal values of salivary
alpha-amylase
activity. These observations allow to conclude that the assay of salivary
alpha-amylase
may be useful as an additional index in diagnostics of ovary and cervical carcinomas.
