| Abstract: | Urinary excretion of beta-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIB), was determined in 28 active and 12 inactive bladder cancer patients.
Mean excretion of BAIB was higher in active cancer patients-187.8 mg/24 hours whereas it was 120.4 mg/24 hours in inactive
cancer patients. The increased BAIB excretion in both disease groups was independent of tumour stage. BAIB appears to be a
useful diagnositic aid in the assessment of bladder cancer patients. |
