    Impact of chemotherapy on collagen metabolism: a study of serum PIIINP (aminoterminal propeptide of type III procollagen) in advanced sarcomas

    We have previously shown that the serum aminoterminal propeptide of type III procollagen (PIIINP) is a prognostic factor for survival in localised soft-tissue sarcomas, and that elevated values are frequent in...
