Figure 1
Trends in serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), urine homovanillic acid
(HVA), and urine vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) concentrations versus the
time since diagnosis. LDH concentrations were increased just before
blood cells recovered, and the next high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) was
started. LDH reflected disease activity better than VMA or HVA.
