| Abstract | It is well-known that the plasma level of group IIA phospholipase A$_{2}$ (sPLA$_{2}$-IIA) is increased in patients with malignant diseases, but whether the up-regulated enzyme expression is directly related to tumorigenesis or a consequence of tumor-associated inflammation remains unresolved. In this study we analyzed circulating levels of sPLA$_{2}$-IIA, C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, factor VIII (FVIII), von Willebrand factor (vWF), and antithrombin as biomarkers of inflammation and coagulation in patients with various types of malignancies. Underlying tumor entities were lung, esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, colorectal, head and neck, and hepatocellular carcinomas as well as multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Plasma levels of sPLA$_{2}$-IIA are shown to be markedly increased in all types of analysed malignancies in comparison to the normal range (22.8 ± 4.5 μg/L versus <1.9 μg/L). Levels of sPLA$_{2}$-IIA correlate positively with CRP (p < 0.001), fibrinogen (p < 0.01), FVIII (p < 0.05), and vWF (p < 0.05) and negatively with antithrombin levels (p < 0.05). Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed a statistically prolonged survival time of patients with lower sPLA$_{2}$-IIA concentrations (<4 μg/L) in comparison to those with elevated concentrations (>4 μg/L) of this enzyme. In conclusion, the study shows that the measurement of plasma sPLA$_{2}$-IIA levels has prognostic values in patients with different types of malignancies. The association of sPLA$_{2}$-IIA levels with CRP, fibrinogen, FVIII, and vWF levels supports the importance of inflammatory processes for the up-regulation of sPLA$_{2}$-IIA during cancer progression. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
