Abstract
In contrast to relatively expensive known methods for tumor diagnosis by means of serum tests, the serum to be investigated (or its albumin or globulin subfraction) are excited by an excitation radiation at least of a wavelength between 250 and 300 nm, and its fluorescence intensity is measured at predetermined emission wavelengths. From deviations of these measuring values from those of a standard or standard serum a conclusion can be drawn with respect to the presence of neoplastic diseases.
