The tissue polypeptide antigen test (TPA) was carried out in 25 patients with tumours of the maxillofacial region before and after surgery. Further control determination were performed for up to 14 months. A decrease in TPA values was found in only 4 patients after surgery, but a steep rise in TPA values was found with progressive tumor growth. No conclusion can yet be drawn from these initial results as to whether this test is of importance in tumours of the maxillofacial region.
对25例颌面部肿瘤患者在手术前后进行了组织多肽抗原检测（TPA）。并进行了长达14个月的进一步对照测定。术后仅4例患者的TPA值下降，但随着肿瘤的进展，TPA值急剧上升。从这些初步结果尚无法得出该检测在颌面部肿瘤中是否具有重要意义的结论。
