SCHWARTZ, Ph.D. Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY 10021 ABSTRACT The application of biochemical analyses as aids in the diagnosis of cancer is discussed with emphasis on the fact that biochemical testing is more useful in following the regression and progression of disease than in early initial diagnosis. The uses of biochemical analyses of metabolic degradation products, lipids, hormones and their receptors, enzymes, including isoenzymes, and trace metals are included.
