For the measurement of sedimentation rate, I added citrate solution to the blood taken from the patient and mixed them well and then divided it into two test tubes. I immediately measured the sedimentation rate of one for one hour in 20°C incubator, I laid the other for 24 hours in 20°C in-cubator, and mixing it well again, I put it into a pipette, and measured the rate after an hour and then I compared the two.
1. In cases of cancer (mainly carcinoma of stomach) 94, 2 per cent of the examples showed that the sedimentation rate in 24 hours was over 80 per cent of that in one hour.
2. In cases of other than cancer only 5, 6 per cent of the examples showed the same phenomenon above mentioned.
3. These facts showed a great significance concerning the auxiliary method for cancer diagnosis.
