The value of cancer antigen-125 as a tumor marker in malignant germ cell tumors of the ovary
1986
Abstract The value of cancer antigen-125 (CA-125) as a tumor marker for malignant germ cell tumors (MGCT) of the ovary was investigated and compared with the other recognized tumor markers (human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes. In the 10 months following June 1984, 4 new cases with MGCT and 1 patient with active disease on treatment were evaluated.
