Abstract

|
Urine NMR analyses made by use of an 80 MHz proton NMR spectrometer show that aromatic proton NMR signals appear in most censer patients’’’’urine. On the assumption that the signals may be caused by the phenolic compound of tyrosine excreted in the urine, a jellied reagent is used for identifying them by observing the urine color reaction. It is observed that the reagent reacted to the cancer urine becomes red. Such a change of the urine color seems to indicate the substance of tyrosine. Recently an attempt to determine the reagent sensitivity an specificity of the urine of 69 persons including cancer and noncancer patients has been made. The results of the attempt are respectively 85.3% for sensitivity and 91.4% for specificity. This seems to show a possibility that the reagent can be used for the diagnosis.
