The serum alpha-tocopherol levels were determined in a group of 182 pa
tients with hematological neoplasms: 87 lymphoid or myeloid leukemias,
65 lymphomas and 30 myelomas. The levels did not differ from those of
controls, when compared either globally or for diagnosis. Low alpha-t
ocopherol serum levels were observed in 6 patients (3.3%).
