Özet

Aim: Many studies have been conducted to investigate plasma arginine, arginase, and nitric oxide'(NO) levels in patients with different types of cancer, and it has been suggested that these might be important factors for patients with cancer. In the present study, plasma arginine, arginase, and nitric oxide levels were evaluated in patients with esophageal cancer.
