Serum fucose levels in gynaecological disorders including carcinoma cervix.

Serum protein bound fucose levels and the ratio between serum protein bound fucose and total serum protein were determined in 40 healthy females, 60 patients with benign gynaecological disorders and 50 patients with previously untreated cases of carcinoma cervix. The mean serum fucose level in healthy subjects was 8.96 mg% and the ratio between serum protein bound fucose and total serum protein was 1.29 x 10(-3). Mean serum fucose level in patients with benign gynaecological disorders was 9.42 mg% and the ratio between serum protein bound fucose and total serum protein was 1.42 x 10(-3). In stage I and II carcinoma cervix patients mean serum fucose was 11.92 mg% and the ratio between serum protein bound fucose and total serum protein was 1.68 x 10(-3). In stage III and IV carcinoma cervix patients the mean serum fucose was 17.76 mg% and the ratio between serum protein bound fucose and total serum protein was 2.64 x 10(-3).
