Urinary polyamines in patients with gastric cancer were determined and changes in their content due to gastrectomy were studied. Total polyamines (spermine plus spermidine) in patients with gastric cancer of either stage II or III decreased significantly after the operation, the mean values before and after operation being 8.35 and 2.71 mg/day, respectively. The mean value of total polyamines in normal cases has been reported to 4.02 +/- 1.35 mg/day, so that the value in these patients after the operation is within the normal range.
