Oesophagus carcinoma amino acids control.

Serum amino acids level examination of the oesophagus carcinoma patients admitted to I Surgical Clinic of Teaching Hospital in Olomouc from 1/1/1990 to 31/7/1991 were carried out by the authors. The standard values were found with the group of patients with resectionable tumor or with a tumor in non-advanced stage on the one hand and on the other hand there were some lower values with the patients with a tumor in an advanced stage. In this way two groups of the sick were examined--the first one with benign oesophagus stenosis accompanied by nutritional disorder, the second with resectionable lung carcinoma without nutritional disorder. Serum amino acids level examination is therefore considered to be rather an indicator of the important factor of a possible surgical treatment of a tumor.
