Summary. Aim: To study the state of purine metabolism in gastric (GAC) and pulmonary (PAC) adenocarcinomas and to assess its clinical and pathogenetic significance. Patients and Methods: One hundred and six male patients were examined, among whom were 63 subjects aged 34 to 79 suffering from GAC, and 43 subjects aged 24 to 76 suffering from PAC. In GAC, the ratio of the pyloric, corporeal and antral localization of the tumor and variant of overall gastric lesion accounted to 24:5:1:1; and that of the central and peripheral PAC was 2:1. Serum levels of purine metabolism products (uric acid, oxypurinol, adenine, guanine, xanthine, hypoxanthine) were measured and activities of xanthine oxidase, xanthine deaminase, adenosine deaminase and 5-nucleotidase were analyzed. Results: Purine metabolism disorders are observed in all GAC and 91% of PAC patients; among other things, hyperuricemia is observed in ¾ and ½ of cases, respectively; moreover, the nature of changes is more pronounced in gastric cancer and, in both groups of patients, these indices reflect the disease course severity, are associated with the neoplastic process localization, have a predictive value, trigger the development of metastases. Conclusion: Сhanges in purine metabolism are involved in the pathogenetic patterns of GAC and PAC, reflect the course of the tumor process, are associated with tumor localization and have prognostic significance.
