Serum Values of Alkaline Phosphatase and Lactate Dehydrogenase in Osteosarcoma

Abstract: Objective: To study the relationship between the pre and post chemotherapy (CT) serum levels of alkaline phosphatase (AP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and the percentage of tumor necrosis (TN) found in specimens after the pre surgical CT in patients with osteosarcoma.Methods: Series of cases with retrospective evaluation of patients diagnosed with osteosarcoma. Participants were divided into two groups according to serum values of both enzymes. The values of AP and LDH were obtained before and after preope… Show more

“…Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone malignancy and is diagnosed through radiological investigations and standard tissue biopsy. Some molecules present in the peripheral blood, such as alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), have been proposed to serve as biomarkers for the diagnosis of OS, but they are not specific for OS and remain on debate with regard to the accuracy and reliability [1,2]. Recently, serum miRNAs (such as miR-124 [3]) and metabolomics (such as fibrinogen, vascular endothelial growth factor, and basic fibroblast growth factor [4]) were also reported to have diagnostic and prognostic value for OS.…”

“…In one such study, serum levels of ALP and LDH were analyzed pre- and post-chemotherapy. Both enzymes were found to be higher pre-chemotherapy compared to post-chemotherapy [ 84 ]. No correlation was observed between these enzymes and the percentage of tumor necrosis in OS patients.…”

“…The need for OS biomarkers is reflected in a large yet inconclusive literature. Early studies focusing on bone markers such as alkaline phosphatase showed highly variable increases in OS patients 6 . Later proteomic studies revealed two as-yet uncharacterized OS-associated proteins 7 whereas studies of miRNAs showed variable results 8 10 .…”
