Serum levels of bone alkaline phosphatase in breast and prostate cancers with bone metastasis

G Ramaswamy et al. Indian J Clin Biochem. 2000 Jul.

Abstract

BALP activity in the sera of metastatic patients of breast and prostate malignancy has increased significantly. Our studies with patients in India conform the earlier reports that BALP may have a useful complementary role in the early diagnosis of bone metastases.

Keywords: BALP activity; breast cancer; prostate cancer.
