The lipid-associated sialic acid (LASA) level in serum was increased in 663 out of 794 patients (83.5%) of which 55.1% were CEA negative. There were 16.5% LASA (possibly false) negative, CEA positive patients. There were 24.1% false positives in 116 patients without malignant tumors. In manifest prostatic carcinoma 94.2% of the LASA values but only 36.5% of the prostatic acid phosphatase values were increased. Similarly, in breast and pulmonary carcinoma, LASA was more sensitive than CEA. In 499 patients with minimal residual disease, 203 (41.5%) were LASA-negative, of which 180 were CEA-negative. Out of 180 LASA positive patients, 70 have relapsed, as have 70 out of 219 patients with increases in both LASA and CEA. The sensitivity of LASA (87%) in lymphoma was higher than that of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (53.3%), of C-reactive protein (51.2%), serum copper (64.7%) and of six other markers.
