LDH isoenzyme electrophoretic pattern differences between colloid and other adenocarcinomas of the colon

Abstract
LDH isoenzyme electrophoretic patterns have been studied in 27 adenocarcinomas of the colon. The different content of M monomer in poorly differentiated tumors is statistically significant (P<0.001) when compared to well-differentiated tumors of the colon. Such a difference has not been found for two Broders groups of well-differentiated tumors. A commentary is made on the possibilities of histochemistry and cytochemistry providing better classification of these tumors.
