Brief Report: The Electrophoretic Mobility of Erythrocytes of Patients with Malignant Tumors

The electrophoretic mobilities of erythrocytes of 123 patients with benign surgical conditions and 55 patients with malignant disorders were determined. There was no appreciable difference between the mobilities of the two groups. In our hands microelectrophoresis of washed, untreated erythrocytes is not a useful tool in the diagnosis of human malignancies.
