ABSTRACT
There has been no detailed reiport on the changes of the activity of serum glycylproline dipeptidyl aminopeptidase (GPDA) in patients with pancreatic career.Tn this paper,the serum level of GPDA was measured in 166 cases with various malignant and benign gastrointestinal diseases and 60 normal controls.It was found that the serum GPDA activity in patients with pancreatic cancer was 101,02?75.84u/L and significantly higher than that in the patients with pancreatitis and in the normal controls.There was a statistically significant difference of the GPDA activity value between the patients with malignant and benign pancreatic diseases.The elevation of GPDA activity was more marked in those patients with cancers in the head of the pancreas.In addition,the elevation of GPDA activity was dependent on the differentiation of cancer cells but not on the size of cancers.Significantly higher level of GPDA was also found in patients with hepatic carcinoma and carcinoma of ampulla of vater but significantly lower level in patients with gastric cancer.It is believed that the determination of serum GPDA activity might be helpful for the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
