Abstract
The examination of over 150 human subjects failed to reveal any differences in the basal excretion of CAMP between breast cancer and lung cancer patients and the corresponding control. But breast cancer patients show certain disorders in the diurnal rhythm of CAMP production and also in the response of CAMP to euphylline, especially insulin. Moreover, a peculiar impairment of the coordination was noted between the state of fat-carbohydrate metabolism and the character of SAMP excretion in breast and lung cancer. The authors stress the necessity to study not only CAMP basal production in oncological patients but also its synthesis against the background of different functional stimuli and in measures aimed at the correction of disorders in fat-carbohydrate metabolism.
